I won’t be around a computer this weekend, so I won’t have another chance to post this beside today. But this Sunday (cross your fingers!) I’ll have gone a year clean, sober and dry. just thought I’d like to brag about it. 🙂 Happy thanksgiving one & all, and take it “one day at a time.” ---

Good for you! A couple of questions, if you don’t mind (if you don’t want to answer, I understand): During this past year, how close did you come to falling off the wagon (if you did)? How did you handle it? How many “friends” did you “lose” (that is, people you only associated with when alcohol was involved)? ---
