You've found a great place to come. It looks like maybe it took a lot for you to type that words that you did. Hang on to those hard and fast because they're the key to the journey!

Lots of great info here, poke around!

Thanks to all you guys. I had 5 years sober before i went out. That was 6 years ago. I started slow but it got just as bad or worse. I have been to 50 meetings in 60 days but I still drank the last two Fridays. I do not want to drink. Got back to a meeting today but I did not own up to my relapses.

I had a sponsor 11 years ago, but I was having little trouble and my five year sobriety lulled me into complacency. Things went pretty good until this year. I just got back big time a couple months ago. I am thinking about a couple of people but I am finding it hard to talk to anyone. It is funny all the people I am most comfortable with are woman. Right now I go to meetings, read the bb, and talk to my wife.
