I'm grateful fir day 1 again today. I wish I hadn't drank but I did, so I'm grateful to remember that I don't like that stuff, and hopeful to stay sober now.

Welcome back. What caused the relapse? What are you going to do different?

Last night I shared that I am all in with working The Steps. Why? Because I see in meetings what other people have after they have worked The Steps. I know it works, I see it.

In "How It Works" it days "Half measures availedbus nothing" and "The results were nil until we let go absolutely." Itbsays it right there, that i will fail and relapse unless I work the steps, with another person who has worked them before me. It's sorta like being pregnant, there is not sorta or kinda pregnant. I'm either in or I'm out.

My hope for you is that you are so desperate that you'll try something new and work The Steps in all earnest. There us nothing to lose, alcohol is always waiting for me to make a mistake.

Thanks Niel, I appreciate it. It was stress, which is foolish because I know alcohol doesn't relieve stress but causes it.

Absolutely you're welcome. Alcohol causes even more destruction for me. I hope you are back in action.
