Yo aint no judging here my friend! What? You banged 11 months dry time that speaks volumes brother. Cut yourself some slack. We are ex Boozers that's what we do. Good thing you are back tho. Least you didnt get back to drinking yourself into sick mode. Shaking etc. Just tweak whatever you did for the 11 months is all. You be aight. ✌

Keep your head held high!

Exactly this is how I see it.

Very cool, SportsFan. I agree with you on how important it is to create a new life with new hobbies, etc. This has been a big help to me so far as well. Anyway, sounds like you’re doing great; keep it up!
