I'm back with my tail tucked appropriately between my legs. It's been a long time since I've posted here and it's because I started drinking again. Instead of feeling so much shame in that fact that it keeps me away from AA, I'm trying to admit that for me it can be a step in the process of getting permanently sober. Not a good step -- but a learning experience nonetheless.
Full transparency: This message board was my first real dive into AA and it helped keep me sober for a very long time. I miss the conversations, I miss the respite, and I miss the people. I'd like to get back into that place of returning here on the regular as an additional tool for my recovery.
Anyway, promise to post often. I hope you all are well.
-Adam

Thrilled you're back Adam ... ... ... Don't be too hard on yourself, a lot of us saw the need to go back and try 'normal' drink'n ... course it didn't work ... I'm one of 'those' ... hard-headed as they come ... lucky I survived ... I found out it was my 'thinker' that was broken ... Rooms of AA fixed the problem, for me ...
