I’ve been drinking after quitting for 7 months. I realize how it is effecting my health mentally and physically AGAIN and I’m ready to live a clean lifestyle. Its a tough road to navigate but only when you’re ready. And I’m ready. Bought Annie Graces The Alcohol Experiment and I look forward reading my books, maybe get to the gym. My 20 yo son bought me a flower lego set for Christmas bc i have a black thumb unfortunately. He said at least you can’t kill this one Mom! Have puzzles in line to do as well! Have pretty amazing kids who are so supportive. Im feeling confident in my choice to return to sobriety. Also was sent an obituary today of a 41 yo mother with 2-3 kids, worked as a scrub tech on L&D. Beautiful young lady. Struggled, in and out of rehab, was in liver failure, watching tv with her kids Christmas morning and went into cardiac arrest. She passed away unfortunately. I can’t imagine the impact that has had on her kids. Breaks my heart for those kids. This sealed the deal for me. No more! Wish me luck!

Hi Mindy.
Good luck. Do you have a sponsor and program? Getting sober alone is tough...did it several times but never stayed stopped until I got in AA. I was so resistant because I thought professional folks were above it but I finally felt like I was where I was supposed to be once I surrendered. I'll be 5 years in a 2 weeks.
