Hope you enjoyed your evening:) and you are now TF.What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Since he has been sober he has slowly rebuilt those relationships. He stressed his key relationship was with himself. He has to love himself, treat himself kindly. If he does that, then all other things slowly drop into place. Powerful stuff.
Like me, his drinking only got worse over time. The relationship with alcohol was more important than relationships with loved ones.
I couldn't see that until I stopped drinking and the fog lifted.
When drinking too much I was hurting myself. And that hurt others.
But my relationship with booze was too strong just to give it up like that. I needed to change myself so I no longer want to drink.
I have managed that tonight.
Tomorrow is a new day, and I am sure it will go ok as long as I keep things just in that day.
Well Said Graheme
1 in the bag for me thanks Shaggy0
