        Congratulations [MENTION=15947]Nursie[/MENTION]!!! So proud to be on this journey with you. Your story sent shivers down my spine as well - so many elements all too familiar. Now is time to continue stringing one day at a time together for the second of many circles around the sun.

        Thank you for sharing your story. :hug:

                      I guess our "bottoms" were reached!

                          Re: One Year!

                          Ok here goes.
                          I had two years sober.
                          I drank a drink with my brother and nothing happened. I was fine. A few weeks later I had a drink at a retirement party and I was fine.
                          Last night I decided to buy some wine. Although I didn’t get drunk, my son was upset and my husband, son, and I had a family meeting right then. We dumped the wine. No matter what stress I feel, or how long it has been, I am still one drink away from the misery I used to have.
                          I need to stay connected to sober people and remember how bad it used to be. Because the time does not make it go away.
                          Thanks for letting me share.

                            Nursie, i am with you that sticking with sober people is a must. Me and my brain alone would not be condusive to my sobriety. Glad to have you back albeit it in not so good circumstances. Its great to see you have the support of your family is such a great support and are there to help.

                              Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                              Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                              Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                                You’re right, soon enough you’d be right back into dependency. And, you’re already back to buying booze for yourself without an occasion. Good idea to nip it in the bud now.
                                It’ll be great to have you here! Welcome back!
