Hi Rick , I know that lonely feeling, trust issues mostly, im 62 and have stacked up 12 years, I was in a 10 year relationship with a woman my age that 10 years of sick codependent behavior died little less than 2 years ago, I stayed sober but was very depressed for at least a year,What am I saying? You got it easy one day at a time, its tgat thinking that im to old that carves a big peice of our Happiness, we want happy ,joyous and Freedom from negative thinking, first get some sobriety time, quality and collect phone numbers ,give the steps a try, unmanageable life style is not attractive to a healthy person, hope that help, I prey for guidance spiritual guidance you should to..

Thanks Sally I appreciate hearing from you. You are so right. I would never treat another human being as badly as I treat myself. Insanity.

I am 65 and have joined six times half assed and only this time, my seventh time, when I have taken every suggestion any one else has ever done to stay away from the first drink, toke, sniff, sip, nibble or drop, just to prove you are all wrong and it wonā€™t work for meā€¦. And now just for today every second of every hour just for today, Iā€™m gonna do it again with my AA toolbox and the spiritual medicine that I get from you and my meetings of others in and out of the roomsā€¦. Iā€™m going to do this again today because nobody else can do it for me and I want to not be in pain again from my own stupidity! I still make mistakes a lot but liquids and substances are no longer my problem. Now my biggest challenge is good chocolate :chocolate_bar: :joy:
