New to this forum

After 13.5 years of happy sobriety, I had a relapse for 7 or so weeks. I got a new sponsor (I had recently moved states) and trying to do 90 meetings in 90 days. I can't believe how hard it is to get back on track. I really don't want to go through this pain again so I am doing everything I can which includes hearing all of your wonderful *voices* and ideas in this forum between meetings. No kidding when the BB says this disease is cunning baffling and powerful. Thanks for letting me post here.

sneaky. I would add sneaky.

I had 18 years of not drinking, then started up again. Slowly, moderately. And here I am, seven years later, with 66 days.

Good job stopping so quickly.

Welcome babs. 13.5 years! You must have been doing something right. Time to pick it up and continue right were you got off.
