This is my 1st quit, and my ONLY quit.... and not only did I "get it"... I have embraced my sobriety since day 1 and continue to do so every single day. I don't consider it to be "luck" at all...it is a combination of willpower, determination, faith, along with the willingness to forgive & love ourselves.

I just requested Alan Marlatt's book from the library (as well as Augusten Burroughs' Dry. The Marlattt book is intended for therapists, but figured I would check it out and let you know.

SOBER thread

The SOBER thread was started by Gumby. I know because I saved it, because it was inspirational. Another thread that touched me that day was started by 5thaday and was called Static Alcoholism.

I'm struggling, too, on day 2. Stay strong!

Thanks, Dill. Glad you're hanging in there. (BTW, we are neighbors -- same state, anyway!)

Yeah, CS, I know! I noticed a few weeks ago that you were in Ohio. It helped make this site more "real" and feel more safe for me to jump into, actually. I suppose that sounds silly. But, it did help me to see that there was someone from Ohio. I noticed Chief is, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. You hang in there, too!
