Hey guys. Well have not drank since I posted here (pretty amazing to me lol) but been a hard week or more. I did go to two meeting the past week, were hard and did not speak at them, but took a big step for me to at least do it again.
Still having issues dealing with going back to meetings/AA.....and hate the fact that I'm back to sqaure one again. But I'm trying, and posting here about it again, so hope I'm on the right track again.

Hey Steve,
Welcome back! I had a lot of memory issues for the first year PAWS. You might remember
I also quit smokes and alcohol at the same time. I missed this thread until now. Man I am proud for you! We all know where you are. All I can say is that you have a choice. I hope you choose life like I did.
Thank you so much for posting bud. It reminds those of us that are still sober after all these years, to paraphrase Paul Simon, that one drink can be the end only if we let it. I know I'd be dead now had I not escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Stay with us.

glad you found your way back. Don't feel bad because you clearly have the ability to accomplish things that you set your mind to. Just because you haven't got this under control yet doesn't mean that you never will.

Hi Steve,
I remember you!
Going back to meetings is a good step.
Nobody there will judge.
Few are lucky enough to get it first go.
I started in AA in 2006 and will (hopefully) have 2 years on October 22nd.
It can be done.
With the help of the man above, a few good sober friends, SR and your awesome willpower, I think you have a pretty good shot!
