Happy Lemming

Many years ago, I had a co-worker that was a recovering alcoholic.  She was in a 12-step program and that seemed to help her stay sober and on track.  She used to talk to me at lunch about her alcohol addiction. She said it helped that I listened and acknowledged her.  I have no idea what eventually happened to her, as I moved away.  I do hope she continued to work the program.

Are you in a 12 step program??  Are you attending any meetings for support??

Glad you’re finding support and open also about these challenges. Are there also other support groups locally and resources/meet ups or someone you can call if you need to talk?

Yes, 14-1/2 years sober now. And I’m so grateful it’s not like that anymore - it was a living hell back in my drinking days.

I’ll do anything not to go back there.

how long have you been sober Alpha?
