      ATT, what was your name on the old site? Is it you I have seen posting every year on your anniversary? Seems like that person's name was three words, maybe At This Time or some such? Byrdie

        ATT,

        Thanks for your concern but I wanted to clarify that I personally do not have those thoughts, if I could edit what I said I should have worded it that "some folks" rather than some of us which implied I was one of them. I actually just posted a post on Newbie's Nest today about how even an "occasional" drink is a deadly thought. I understand your statement about using other people's slips as your motivation as we must be constantly diligent in our quit or it's too easy to relapse. Far easier than a lot of people think.

        Congrats on your success with this.

          ATT thanks for sharing with us. It is inspiring to see real long term sobriety. It CAN be done.

            ATT, thank you for your posts and congratulations on your AF time. It is very useful and also reassuring to see some of the mindset type things that have helped you. I agree with you about the absolute need for brutal honesty with one's self. This is such a condition of deception that without honesty success is doubtful. Thank you very much for three good food thought!

                      Wonderful post! Congratulations for making a new life for yourself. I like to look at things in a similar way 'i don't drink, period, ever.' Take it off the table. :yay::victorious::yay::victorious:
