    Guy, We've always have each others back. That is just the way Buick people are.

    Guy, We all fail it's what we do next that sets us on the next path. One day you will look back on day 297 and say this was but a small bump on the road to recovery.

    Guy, my two cents aren't worth much but I'll give them anyways. You should be proud of your self and your slip up, it just means you are human and had the balls to admit to not just yourself but thousands of people on an open forum your decision to fall prey to the booze. You think Rome was built without one mistake, ummm no. Rebuild yourself one day at a time and it doesn't matter how many slips you have as long as you learn from them and get stronger. Cheers my friend!

    They’re were two really nice police officers that stopped over last night that someone called to do a much needed welfare check on me. I must say. They were very understanding. Even the one person in training somehow knew what the hell I am going through.
    Yes I relapsed a frickin gain. Can anyone please please please say a prayer for me? This is by far the hardest fuckiing battle I ever went through in my life!!!
    I really don’t know or care to know who called but it most definitely saved my life.
    The person in training said the most:
    “I am not a bad person. I am just a person with a horrible disease. God bless his sole. This young guy gets it.
    There is hope…

    We will continue to Pray for you.
    Remove the temptation from your surroundings. That is the easiest beginning. Don't let the enemy in to win

    Always do Guy, like i'm sure everyone here does..
    That was God or whatever your higher power is my friend.

    I'm sure police are better trained to understand and you might have gotten a rookie who has seen his share in family..

    Guy, you're recovering, one day at a time. Dust yourself off and keep going. Get out and do something with a friend, or make a new friend with one simple conversation wherever you might happen to wander. Remind yourself why you don't want to stay in that hole, why sober life is better, and leave yesterday's mis-start with yesterday.

    You've got another chance to cut a good light.

    Sean. You know what? You are absolutely correct. When I first read what you wrote. I gave it a try. I have stopped counting completely. Like you said. It keeps it out of my mind now.
    Open mind…. What works for me my not work for others. Believe it or not but you have helped me in the biggest way.
    Thank you for my life! K?

    Remember The Serenity Prayer, Guy. They are truly words to live by.

    Thanks everyone. It was an emotional AA meeting tonight. But as everyone understands. What happens there….
    All I can say is. Their are much much more addicts that needs much more help at the moment than I. Please say a prayer for those.

    Like Peter I was wondering how you were doing also. Been a rough few weeks here as well, but I survived it for some reason, as did you Guy....
