Welcome back, Introvrtd1. It's good to see you posting again.

This whole sobriety thing is never a one and done deal. It's a life-altering circumstance and the terms of the battles we wage against it are ever shifting, ever changing. Though there may be setbacks and hiccoughs along the way, as long as the will to fight never dries up, the war is never truly lost.

thanks for the support. At this point i’m just in reflection on how i’m continuing forward.

Whelp.

Been there. No one gave me any trophies for it and the only one I hurt was myself. If there's anything I'm good at, it's taking myself waaaaay too seriously and thereby causing all means of drama that I don't need.

I'm glad you made it back and told the tale, many people don't and end up dead. Thanks for letting us know you're okay.

I took it as a very painful lesson learned when I did the same thing. I'm now in Sobriety 2.0 and past nine years sober this time, I'm pretty sure I'm not going back! I hope you also make that decision.

Stick with us, Introvrted. Stick with us.
