Thank you! I appreciate this article. I’m about 18 months sober, and every Friday I have this kind of conversation with myself. For me, the journey of sobriety must go on. I’m not sure where it’s going yet, but it certainly feels safe. The new life I’ve built is so good, I’d hate to spoil it with booze. I remain open to the journey. How did you know when you were ready to try alcohol again?
