Ok....where the heck have you been?? I have been waiting for the "perfect" post to send me back to AA and sobriety......
And I hate this post. Maybe it is the rum soggy brain saying so, maybe it is the I am going to start being sober during Oct (which is my bday month). I hate this as much as I love?am terrified at the idea of being sober....ODAAT. Much love to you Mr. SP.
