After all, "I haven't drank in X amount of days, months, years, etc..." I relapsed when I was actively participating in my program, but I let stress and bs minutia get to me.

And the real thing to get about this is that it can happen so slowly, insidious, cunning, you know. <br /><br />Ya, the MOMENT I hear myself contemplating about "suiting up and showing up", about tossing around the idea of not going ( after all I am SUCH a busy VIP ) then I know I'm headed for some shakey ground.<br /><br />I have to continuously walk into unfamiliar territory challenging myself<br /><br />We're blessed to have those folks out there who love us enough to "warn us" when we're potentially in danger<br />~ddawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089788992642824340noreply@blogger.com
