This was a beautiful story of recovery, TJ! It's interesting that all of the signs can be placed in front us but they aren't really seen until we are willing to do the work.

I relate to your story. I also had a child in 2004 and then went wild after that. I am glad that your lapses only last a day, that's all you need to realize it's not going to work out. Our monkey mind will continue to try and play tricks on us if we aren't vigilant! I don't do AA either but one day at a time is something that definitely works!
