Hi All

Been a while
Yes I fell off the wagon
Have jumped back on it

Just to update records.

Stopped going to recovery that is back on track again too

Keep up the winning.

Best of luck

Dave

Welcome back Rockfish, i'm glad you are back on the wagon so to speak. And I also agree that it's not easy - but most things in life worth having are not. Hope you can stick around with us!

welcome back!

for the record, it never even LOOKED easy to me.....

But - over four years on, it's gotten a lot easier. And a lot better. And a lot more awesome.... and joyful....

It's not easy, but it's worth it.

Thanks Free Owl

I hope to make the grade

It's not as easy as it looks

Nor as hard as we think.

A big thanks to all of you.
I don't feel embarrassed coming back
I felt embarrassed for having left for a while
I will walk tall back to recovery programme tomorrow

Welcome back! Nope, it's not easy. For me the hard part is trying to calm the insanity in my brain. AV tires to trick and trick and trick.

It tricked me a few times before I started catching on to it's ways.

Hi Dee
That is a very good question.
This time I will not succumb to peer pressure from "friends" .
I will find a sponsor to talk with to help me in my weaker moments.
I am mentally better prepared now (I believe) even so we all need a positive back up.
And I will not be dwelling on the past...We only have the now and the future.
Here goes round two ding ding
Best wishes
Dave
