Maybe this time.

If you have trouble with staying quit then that's what I'd work on, Nuu

Aack...
Today I am sober and fairly confident I will end the day that way as well. But that's bout as far as my confidence goes in this moment. Also on the drive into town I realized I was back on the "emotion roller coaster". I had a meltdown trying to get the fire started this morning and realizing my woodbox was empty and I was suddenly in a wah wah fest bout all the crap I do around the place and the partner can't even keep the woodbox filled! At one point I started to fear an all out rage attack...
But hey...quitting drinking and smoking can do that to a girl. As I say..on the drive into town my mind flicked back to previous sobrieties and the emotional weather fronts that come in and out.....
Funny how the smother blanket of addictions like alcohol and cigarettes keep a person somewhat numb....apathetic I guess. I mean sure a person has "upsets" by they don't FEEL like the ground shaking under your feet lol.
I perservere in sobriety today.

The thing is - none of us is incapable of change.
At 38 I was a wreck. At 48 I'm pretty dang together
I had a bad habit of never seeing things through too - I'm better at that now...or at least I know the things that are good for me to see through to the end

Looks like a lot of folks remember you as do I. Good to see ya and read some well written literature on the threads.
