Bill, thanks I did get through it and I didn't drink last night either, thanks for the pep talk!

Child, I first got into recovery 15 years ago. I have been in and out but I am really proud of you for being sober more than being drunk through all your years. I'm going to keep trying to limit damage by not picking up again.

Split, I've had periods of sobriety followed by periods of drinking. I had 4, 2 and a half year stints, then two, 1 year periods then a couple of 6 and nine months. Then some periods of drinking, can't remember how long they were couple of years, a few months followed by hospital detox. I've never made it to three years. But all combined I've got over ten. Just can't get them without slips in between. Wonder why? Congrats on your 7 months!!!! One thing is nice to always be in the first year.
