Starting over
Starting over
Hi there
Well its been a hard year... Relapsed back to active alcoholism after having been sober for a year in Nov 2014
this year has been a blur...I'm living with my parents currently and I am grateful for that.. I haven't held work for a while now..so many of us end up homeless and with nothing so I have learned over the years to be thankful for small mercies and being tolerated whilst in the throes of obliteration...
However I am two days off my fortieth birthday and something inside me is saying you don't have to do this anymore..it is the voice of hope

Welcome back vandermast. It doesn't need to be like this anymore, you had a year under your belt so you know exactly how good things can be. Hope you can stick around, lots of support and understanding can be found here.
Welcome back, Vandermast; nice to see you.
I am sorry that it has been such a difficult year for you. You can do this; you have the memory of a sober year upon which to build.
Keep listening to that voice of hope; turn up the volume, too.

Hey you guys thanks for the msgs of support and encouragement.
I slipped up yesterday but paid the price for it...Jesus my body really can not do this anymore I've spent half the day in bed nursing the mother of all hangovers...I'm thinking that it would be nice to have my sobriety date as my birthday...so here goes...

In order to get sober and stay that way I had to make some changes, a lot of changes, to make a sober life liveable, let alone enjoyable. A plan for recovery was essential.
