New but old...

Hi everyone,

Ive been here before..a couple years back. I had almost a year sober in October but suffered a relapse in August.

Today is my 2nd day sober in the past 4 months..I've started the journey again, and Im glad I have this site to come back to.

It is definitely not easy, but I'm glad Im back on the right track again.. Going to need your company and support tonight

Sweets - I remember you, & I'm sure many others will, too. I had to be ready, and I finally nailed it after a lifetime of drinking. Sounds like you're ready this time, too. You can do it, and never go back to crazy land.

Keep talking to us - we care.

Hevyn,

Thank you so much for your reply..I feel I am ready. I've gotten to know myself a lot more the past couple of years. I'm still feeling some withdrawal side effects..mostly mental though..I feel a little jittery, off balance, headachey, etc..but I am more thankful and grateful than anything else for making the decision to want to be sober once again.

I had quite a rough month, lots of things going wrong..Some things got better before Christmas which I am so thankful for. Im concentrating on being grateful tonight.

I'm glad I returned back to AA last night..

A wonderful woman wants to be my sponsor and I am lucky to have that in my life right now. I need to get back to meetings and find some great support.

It looks to me like you are getting better at getting better.
