Welcome allcon.

Tells us more. How did you manage 17 years? What was it that led you back to drinking? Why do you want to be sober again?

Welcome Allcon. I too would love to hear your story. I am fascinated by people who go back to drinking after a long period of sobriety and why it happens. I know after 21 months my AV puts thoughts in my head that I could moderate my drinking if I went back.

Best wishes for the journey you are about to embark upon!
