Sidetracked.
 

Long story short, I blew it, I relapsed, I was sober for 18 months then one day the voice got to me and I spent another 18 months thinking I could be normal, last weekend was a wakeup call, I was chasing a buzz that doesnt exist.

Day 3 again, I was absent here for a long time, now Im back, I went back and read my posts and I was much happier not drinking, theres alot more positives for me not drinking, I know that.

I texted my cousin, whos in the same boat, Monday, Day 1 was the message, he replied wow what a coincidence same here. Yesterday he texted day 2 now what do we do ? I replied figure out what to do with all this extra happiness.
Im back on track and feeling better already.

Welcome back Sparkydog :)

Welcome back Sparkydog!! :)

Yeah re-reading old posts can be great when things get tough!!

The plan is to get back on the old plan, it was working. I think keeping a journal and writing it regularly helps, rereading the one I had and rereading my posts here I realized my whole way of life was more enjoyable.

I also know giving in to the voice can lead to a long time of un-happiness, one drink can turn into thousands quickly.

A wise man (Ferris Buler) once said, life comes at you pretty fast, if you dont stop and look around , you might miss it.
