Double Douce Baby ...

And I'm not talkin' about the 22 ouncer of beer either :-) so 22 days & other then back spasms & try to type on my Android device while on my prescribed valium; I feel good . I am off the vicodin, yay me I hated them things. Now 3 Weeks later w\ a clear head, I am trying to mend fences now :-) . Been doing allot of reading on sobriety as well as Buddhism. My job is in tack & one of my main focuses. Keeps me sane & out of trouble. I feel so good that tomorrow since I am off I plan to post my WHOLE story so every one who has reached out knows where I came from & how I got in this dark ditch. Thanx All for listening.

Congrats!

I was a Buddhist for many years, about eight would be my guess. I moved away from it before my problems with alcohol started, but I think it'd be quite interesting to see where Buddhism & recovery intersect and compliment each other.

Hope I'm able to catch your story tomorrow. I've been coming to this site for years now--off and on. Yet I never get the least bit tired of hearing people's stories. They help keep me going.

Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
