Well I guess I'm the 1st to post on this topic. I have been a member of A.A. for ten years and had 2 periods of Recovery. The 1st was from Aug. 29th, 1999 to Oct. 4th or 5th 2001. Within 24 hrs. of this relapse I was in a nut ward. Afterwards I was in and out of A.A. until Dec. 2nd 2007 and relapsed Oct. 31st of this year. After 10 days in the Graybar hotel I have been clean and sober since Nov. 17th. The cause of both of these relapses was placing a rel. this last time and a lack of one in 2001 ahead of my recovery. Oh and during those 6+ yrs. in and out of A.A. I got addicted to crack, crushed my heel in a fall from ladder, sober. I broke my left tibia and fibula in a car wreck after leaving a meeting, again sober.
Then after my 2nd surgery (still on crutches) I fell down a flight of stairs at the local community college and broke my right tibia, was misdiagnosed and spent a night in jail for disorderly conduct. Throw in a suicide attempt in 2004 and I'm quite sure that you can get the picture that it doesn't get any better. However, losing this sick relationship I was just in may turn into the greatest blessing of my life as I was prepared and seemed destined to marry a lady who cannot or will not be honest with herself about her alcoholism and pill addiction.

Hi Buddy,

Actually, you're not the first to post in the RIR forum... but, you are the second to post in the announcement part of the forum that tells what the subject is.

Often, the members here in the forum skip over messages posted in the announcement section and go on to the old topics that others have posted, or, they start a new topic.

I remember reading your message here. Since there was no question asked, I assumed you were simply sharing your experience. Did you intend to ask a question, or did you ask one, and I didn't see it?

Best regards,

Dallas
