don't drink poison

Oh resentment. Yes. A definite trigger. Thank you Dee. I'll be adding that little gem to my trigger list and working through it in my recovery plan.

Your poison analogy is spot on.

Thanks again to everyone who posted with support. I am firm in my resolve to beat this thing (to death with my bare hands if necessary) but knowing I can reach out here is making so much difference.

And so I wake up today with 3 weeks of sobriety instead of declaring yet another day 1 and that feels very, very good indeed.
