Oh good. Here. Help me finish this popcorn. I don't think I can finish it all.
Welcome back. I know. 3 days IS a long time believe it or not. At least it was for me when I came back. Before I got sober, it used to be so hard for me to get past that third day. I would go sit in some restroom stall and flip a quarter. Heads, I would use, tails I wouldn't. And if it came out tails, I would change the rules to best out of three till it came out 'heads'. THEN I got to blame the quarter!
When I came back, I just had to look back and think of what I could different this time. Maybe go to meetings every day. Maybe get a sponsor this time if I didn't the first time. Maybe read the big book and begin working the steps.
I asked someone, 'how soon should I begin working these steps?'. He said, 'how soon do you want to get sober?'.
Again, welcome back and good luck to you. Hang in there. Hope to see you day four. And throw that quarter in an AA basket in case ya got one in yer hand!

Mickey Mantle was my idol. He wore number 7.
I used to wish I would be just like him.
I wish I heard that suggestion in AA sooner about being careful what ya wish for, cause I got my wish.
Here I am.....an alcoholic with liver disease.
