Thank you for your words of encouragement and advice . I am currently on day number 4 of being sober. I have not had to take medicine for withdrawals. I have managed to stay sober for months at a time and even once for a little over a year and a half. My stinking thinking tells me...What if you do all this again and then fail down the road again miserably? However, I keep telling myself that I have to do this. This could be my last chance. The three things keeping me motivated right now are my wife and 2 children.
