OK, back to as normal as I'll ever get.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Thanks for bumping this, CL.

I'm as happy as I've dared to hope in quite some time, and what's really cool is that there's been none of the "well, let's celebrate!" thing that has undone me before.

Its been 14 years since I stopped my thing, but thanks for caring CL. Some dreams of using pop up, but no craving to use. I usually wake up and think "good thing it was only a dream."

Yeah, I had a drinking dream last week, where I was on the phone to my gal, and she could tell I had been drinking, and I was busy denying it. Waking up with that feeling of shame ...

Keep being strong, my friend.

I'm impressed how strong you guys are.

I can't even give up sugary drinks...
