              Just now saw your thread IAD. Alcohol = Cunning, Baffling, Powerful. Glad you are back on the wagon right away. All we can do is keep learning from our decisions and moving forward.

                IAD... SIX months is is is is is (am I stammering?) Fantastic!

                Don't know what the bump in road is about (did you just drink 1 or 2 or get blitzed?)...

                And may I ask why? (If not too personal!) The reason you decided to drink may help others...

                As I've been reading & understanding more about my own "falls from grace".. I really am seeing that it IS a Demon!

                Maybe we just need a good excorcist?!! (Perhaps not a joke!)

                  I agree, 6 months and one day is a HUGE success

                  Back on the wagon now

                  I look at it this way - much better than all those AA meetings I used to go to where people would say they were one year sober when I could smell Bourbon on their breath.

                  You are great IAD. Everyone has a bad day. Next time make it a year from now. LOL
                  Rest in Peace, Bear. We miss you.

                    Keep positive and remember the your six months can not be taken away from you! Dust yourself off and stay strong! Good Luck!

                      Savon....the truth of the matter, I've been retired from the Govt. for a year now. ( 55 years old ) I've got too much time on my hands.....too much time to think. I put in for a job with the Govt. ( part time) I need to go back to work !! I really feel like I'm worth nothing. I use to be a Facilities Manager......ran the problems of a major Facility.....It was a fast pace time.....know I'm doing nothing....It's hard. LOL IAD.

                        I am just going to say "ditto" to what all the others said and then add... have you thought about vounteering somewhere? Keep your mind busy yeah? It doesn't have to be paid work if you're retired. Heaps of things you could do and you sound like you have a great deal of skills to offer. Have a look around - I bet you'll find something!

                        My Mum used to take her dog down to the nurising home to cheer up the elderly.... I know you'll find a place somewhere. And in the mean time - you are doing an awsome job here! As a newbie I have really enjoyed reading your posts. Maybe you could write a book! Just a thoguht.

                        And I agree it's not a fall from grace... just a pothole and a bump is all.

                          IAD, have you ever thought of mentoring? There are lots of kids out there who could use your support and wisdom.
