Hi Guys,

Today is day 1 for me. I finally got the courage and willingness to try again. I'm very nervous about getting my white chip again tonight at my home group. But i have to do it. It's time to stop hiding in the bottle and drinking because I'm scared. I had 100 days last month and i know i can do it again. I felt better physically and about myself in general when i was sober. I missed talking to you guys everyday and I'm very glad I'm getting sober again.

Thank you everyone. The muffler fell off our car last night. My husband's getting it fix now and we'll be all set for him to take me to my meeting tonight.

I remember the fear of collecting that white chip, Barb, but I thank God everyday that I did. So many don't make it back. I'm proud of you.

I'm still doing good Pamm. I read my daily meditation book and my big book today. Then i took a nap this afternoon. Now we're going to have "Long John's Silver's" for supper. My meeting is in a hour and a half. I'm starting to get nervous, but I'm a little excited too. I'm finally going to get this off my chest and tell my friends tonight that i relapsed and get my white chip.
