Hey marshall.
20 years in the pocket. That's gotta feel good when you're starting over.
I caught your other message in the Newcomer forum.
You can either look at it as "I blew it", or not.
It's your choice.
Where you at right now? Long bender? How you feeling?
Glad you came in.

Welcome. Care to share your story with us? If you're willing to share, we'd be happy to read it. Tell us a little bit about yourself. I'm a relative newcomer and I'm interested in hearing about your 20 yrs. of sobriety. That's a long time in my book. Good for you for making it back.

Thanks for moving that last post too Doug.
I just want to thank you Marshall, for coming in and reminding me that my disease will never ever be cured. I'm thinking you need to put the bottle down long enough for your own accumulated wisdom of the last twenty to kick in again. Easier said than done, I know. You teach me once again to never let my guard down.

Marshall,
I just wanted to welcome you to SoberRecovery. You can find the support you need here. Have you gone to any aa meetings? I am pretty much a newcomer, also, and look forward to hearing some of the experience you have to share.

There is a lot of support here. There are a bunch of understanding people here. You know the basics. Live one day at a time, one hour, or one minute. Pray for the strength to do this again. You can do it. I will keep you in my prayers, also!

Marshall,
u only blew it if, you didn't learn from it. I've only got 5 and a half years in AA. You helped me stay sober today. Your pain is my gain. You just told me alcohol is cunning baffling and powerful. Seems that my disease is staying in shape waiting for me to get out of shape.
You stayed sober for over 29 years, how did u do it? What did you do different to drink?
we boozers are creatures of habit. You know, i start my day off in prayer, read the bible, ask for guidance thru out the day. I pray, may i do thy work and be of service to anyone i can.
This goes on all day. At night, I go to a meeting or, i stay on line here. I'm so sorry for your pain. You just made me realize, i can take my will back any time and I'm going to be in misery again. I can't remember the last bad day i had. i remember the last drunk i had. i don't ever want to feel that bad again in my life
stay posting you have a lot of ESH to share
