Lee - you always have the best advice!

Couldn't have said it better. I know you're down (I'm a recovering drug addict); but don't do it. The pain you feel is better than the shame that goes with succumbing to taking that drink. You're feeling real, valid feelings, and want to numb them by drinking. It's so easy, and I understand.

You need a back-up sponsor. You need someone you can call. But don't worry about your sponsor now - they are your sponsor because you both need all the help and support you can get! Don't feel bad or guilty - just make that call!

We're in this together, darlin'. I wish I could hug you and tell you it's going to be OK. And it will. Just don't take that drink! You're stronger than you think you are!
