AuntieMel: Our anniversary dates are close - mine is early May (May 5 to be exact). This May I will celebrate 9 years. It seems like yesterday sometimes that I picked up my desire and 1 month chips. I am so weird that I have all of my chips, including the desire chip, in a little change purse that I carry with me at all times. I don't know, it is comforting having them with me.
Lee: I, too, sometimes still get the "I am sure I can handle one drink" thoughts, even as recently as last summer. I, personally, would have to be delusional to think that I could have a drink or two and not end up back in the same drinking pattern I had been in before I stopped. It's funny, though, that when I get those thoughts, I seem to also get hit with a vivid picture of me when I was drinking, and I realize that I so much prefer the way I feel now (living sober) to the way I felt before (using).
All the best to you Lee and to you AuntieMel.
Take good care.Tamara
