No worries whatsoever FreedomCA. What was going on when you picked up a drink? I'm sorry that happened. But here we are back on the path together. Let's hit 2020 sober. Living Day 27 here. Both of us very early days and we need to stick together.

Hi Freedom!

Just wanted to say how much I admire you for stopping after a day and for posting. Hope to continue seeing you in the December Class.

There is no disappointment, no judging if you want sobriety keep trying.

My head sort of hurts. It sucks. I need to jump in the shower and drink a Rock Star to get moving.

I relapsed so many times before things finally stuck for me. On Day 152 now. If I can do it, you can! Leave no stone unturned, you’ll find it.

I’m at an appointment. I will post later. I was hungover and I needed the caffeine to combat my hang over to make my Appt.

A man sat next to me at my meeting on Sunday evening where I have a commitment. He shared that he needed to buy a gun from the East Bay.

Alcoholism is sad. The guy that wanted to buy the gun at the meeting was looking to kill himself because of the remorse and guilt he feels because of his actions when drunk or using. I will keep him in my prayers.

I'm at the close of Day 2 and feeling so glad I didn't drink. Head on pillow sober. Completed the tasks I had set my myself as part of my Plan for continued sobriety. A sense of accomplishment. Feels so good.

I've relapsed many times Freedom CA but this time I'm serious. Alcohol has stripped me of so much, and will continue to do so if I don't intervene on my own behalf, for the first time in my life. I want it so.

Back on track again Freedom. How good's that!

I truly hope that man did not access a gun. That is so terribly sad.
