Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Congrats Jimmy!
It takes a big man to see his faults, and an even bigger man to do something about them.... One day at a time... A good philosophy for all of us, as we're all struggling with something!
Good for you!

Hats off to you Jimmy. Keep your head up and your lips dry. I have had a lot of friends with demons. I know its tough, but it CAN be done.

In the meantime I put the plug in the jug, literally, and with 24 days alcohol free under my belt I will endeavor to keep it that way one day at a time. My posts may not be as lively but my strops will be better off.

Just saw this thread. Congratulations Jimmy! You are doing a great thing for yourself and keep that as your reason, everything and everyone else will follow along. I've been down that road so far I never thought I would find my way back. Stay focused, if you want to just talk, ask, and I will give you my cell number. Be well!

Hell yes! A friend of mine is doing the exact same thing and I am equally proud of both you. Everyone here is in full support of you, and hopefully that support will be all the more reason to keep that jug plugged! Keep it up my friend.
