Good stuff here…
When Rayna said kudos for outing yourself, she’s on to something. It is the secrets we keep that rot us from the inside out. Good for you.
Kismet asked the most interesting question. Are you one of us, or do you believe you can get away with a few drinks? Bama, I have seen people who went out and could not or would not come back. There is no guarantee that we can simply pick back up where we left off. We don’t always get a “do over”.
The book says that going out and tying a little controlled drinking might be a good idea if it clears up any misconceptions about who and what we are. I don’t tell men to try that, sometimes real bad things happen when they take another run at their drinking.
Thank God you are back.
Stop screwing around with that gift. You have so much more in store for you than a barf laced hangover.

On the road to the good stuff,
