Thank you so much, guys! It certainly is a double blessing. It's also a blessing to be part of such a supportive, loving brotherhood. I couldn't do this without you (and HaShem, of course)!

And Unanumun, I'd be honored if our sons became friends! Who knows? We might very well be neighbors!

Just checking in... I'm sorry I've been away from the forums for so long. I'm still working on my struggle, and optimistic, despite my various falls.

Thanks, Cordnoy. You were one of my go-to Chizuk guys; of course I remember you

I kept up faithfully with the 90 days chart; I've just been absent from the forums. I feel like my priorities were the opposite of what they should have been. But here I am!

nice to see you trucking along
give us some advice
what has helped you in your journey?
when going forward gets tough, its merely a sign that you are going uphill, just give more gas
put your sobriety first; before your wife, before your kids, before your avodas HaTorah (except for the 3 that are יעבור ואל יהרג) Without sobriety you won't have any of those things!

Thanks, Shmeichel!

I haven't exactly racked up the clean days to justify giving any advice except, stay tied to this site (or your support group, or your sponsor, etc.), as much as possible. I failed a lot during this last hiatus, at times, everyday. But I updated my chart assiduously, without fail. At times -- and this might not necessarily be a good thing -- my fail-and-update-the-chart pattern became a rote, mindless habit, something I did as a matter of routine. But I'm back here updating my status, reading the emails, browsing the forums. And obviously, that's a very good thing.

Hey Cordnoy,

The emails go to a separate account, and in my half-committed mind-set, I avoided going to that account all together. I'm going to do my best not to make that mistake again, and stay on top of them.
