Chalmette is a good one to talk to. She said it all really...I remember when I first got sober, it was others in early recovery who I clung to, because they were going through it too, that early sobriety stuff.

I too, only drank at night during the week. On weekends I'd wait till noon. A year in to my sobriety I got diagnosed with MS. I screamed at the er doc, "what the f**k did I bother getting sober for???" She said sobriety was the best thing I could do for my MS. I stayed sober through it, and now I'm back to work in my field. Didn't work for a year and a half after my diagnosis, but doing my injections, and staying sober, have kept me from having any flairups.

Keep posting here, try going to a meeting. Get a sponsor, a woman who's worked the steps herself and who also has a sponsor, and who will work the steps with you. Get a fellowship of people you can talk to. We have a good little fellowship here on PC and on Tuesdays, like Chalm said, we come together and chat.

Its possible to get sober and have fun! Heck Chalm still went to her parade! I go play pool in a league every Sunday. After awhile its possible to go places in sobriety. Its easy to think life is over at first, but in sobriety, life is just beginning!
