I don't consider myself a drug addict, although I was at one time well on my way to becoming one; but I am an alcoholic, and as an alcoholic and an almost addict, thoughts of drinking and using occasionally enter my brain - and sometimes I entertain those thoughts! So today I'm committing to 24 more hours of sobriety, today more than most days. No matter how much "sober time" I've got, today is all I really have!! 4:08 am in TX

Good morning, friends. After such a sad, difficult few days with the loss of my dog, I finally am getting some rest. Last night was the first night I actually slept the night. I am blessed with so much support right now. Thank you for walking this path with me and for all the condolences and messages of understanding.
