I've been sober for a bit over a year. The only thing that's really changed is I'm now cognizant of how fucked I am at all times.

But I appreciate your reply and thoughts, and no need to apologize for taking a few hours to respond on a website.

It's not easy keeping it on the wagon, that's for sure. You think you're doing well, but a moment of weakness is all it takes sometimes. It gets easier and easier in time but you still need to be vigilant for ever. I fell of the wagon after being clean for three years. That sucked. I was so fucking disappointed with myself. Can't ever let your guard down. Thinking you're safe is often the one that gets you. Don't mean to preach, you know all this already of course. As I said before, you need to find your own way that works for you. Stay strong, I believe in you. If you need to talk, pm me. Now I need to get my beauty sleep. Hasn't improved my looks much so far, but I keep the hope alive. Cheers.
