Please do continue, you're doing good. We just lost a buddy to alcohol, yet he was years free (don't know how many). His younger brother took the hint and went into rehab. You don't need it to be with other people
Thank you, I feel very good about my chances this go around. I'm sober because I'm a better person when I don't drink. Up until now, I also very purposefully surrounded myself with high risk drinkers, so I knew I would not have any friends going on this journey with me.
