I am BACK

I'm not new here but I am new again. I was a long time member with 2 plus years happily sober. Life got away from me and I reverted back to my unhealthy coping ways. I'm just noticing old habits taking over and know I don't want to get back to that place so I am back here again. SR and this community saved me. I'm ready to begin again. I'm hoping some of my old buddies and moderators are still here. Going to have a look around.

More like sobriety got away from you. It's good that you made it back.

I didn't get too far or too deep drinking. I'm working my butt off raising my girls alone and working like crazy. I'm not drinking a lot but finding myself saying, "having a glass of wine will make stress go away", I don't like that.

I hate that I worked so hard to get sober and felt so well, and I don't anymore. Need this support system back and trying to help a friend join as well.
