You take care of yourself Scotty and do what's right for you. There will be times I have to make choices like you are now and I pray that I can do the right thing. Show me it can be done.

I'm also suffering from significant anxiety which is affecting my breathing. Not good things! I want my 112 days back!!!

I get where you're coming from. I really do. I was there a few days ago and chose to drink. Please, please don't drink.

You did great posting first. I didn't and I knew better. Stay strong. It will pass and tomorrow you will have saved your awesome sobriety. ((HUGS))

I get what you mean!!! I had almost 5 months under my belt and I threw it away!! All that struggling and pushing through and overcoming just for a lousy drink??? I am soooooo beyond pissed at myself. So here I am on day 3. Starting all over again. Please don't take that drink!!!!
