I continue to struggle. I go long periods without drinking and then relapse. Usually a trigger or the AV comes at me. I did not plan it but February 1 was day one again. I have not been around SR as much as I should be. I'll read the forum more, it gives me strength. I read many stories about bad behavior when drinking. I've had my share. But for years now I drink alone. I don't go out, I don't drive. But that does not make it any less of a problem. I have a friend that will be visiting in the fall. I am worried, because I have known him for years and he drinks all the time. Can I hold up, even if I make it that far? I know the first thing he will want to do is get hammered. I'll cross that bridge when I get there I suppose. Thanks SR.

Hey Jim. Welcome back. 25 days is awesome. You’ll deal with fall when you need to. For now keep going, one day at a time

Hi Jim, day 25 for me too! (again) I'm determined to never go back, I'm ready to see what life is like sober. not for a week, a month, or a year, the rest of my life. Iv'e done enough research (relapsing) to know that life is no longer good with booze. I have left behind friends and even family who still drink, I see it as a small price to pay for freedom from booze. Let's do this together...almost done with Feb, March is gonna be awesome!

Great job at 25 days!!
