Still have any of those $$$ left? If so, I'd get my butt to a good rehab. That's what I had to do so I could be somewhere safe where I didn't have to take care of myself, and could totally let go, surrender, and go through the agony I had to go through. And the therapy and program work sure didn't hurt!

Jeff,
You already said it, you know what to do. 7 years will pretty well speak for them self, if what you did worked and you stopped doing that, you may have the clue in there as to what the problem was. I am not making light of your situation simply reminding you that all the tools are at your feet and it is up to you if you pick them up.
I am in So Cal as well and in fact do business in La Quinta now and then. If you want to chat, please feel free to send me a private message and I will be more than happy to stay sober myself being of service to you. I am in Upland.
Go get 'em,
Jon

I think all or most of us have been where you are today, or something similar. Do you know how many people stand up at meetings and say almost word for word what you said about ego and money and how they figured they didn't need meetings anymore? Trust me, if you go back, no one will judge you; most likely a lot of them have done the same thing.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.
