Eight months is a long time, and I KNOW you can do it again, and even LONGER. You know that too.

Have you gone to AA? I'm sorry, but I can't remember. My memory is in really bad shape. That's from brain damage from drinking. I spent 20 years of my life drunk and basically insane from doing the same thing over and over. You don't want to end up like me. Plus it affects your bones and other organs in your body. For my age, I'm in pretty poor shape. Don't follow my lead, except that I got sober and stayed that way!

I hope you're in AA - if you are, make friends with someone your age, and hang out with them. Do things with them socially. Go to as many meetings as you can. AA works if you work it.

Take care my friend -- I'm with you 200%. If you need to talk, let me know. You know where I am. Hugs, Lee
