I'm going to go deflate my head a bit after reading this. I do appreciate the encouraging and lifting words. And about the roses, I know they were worth it. Leslie – Thanks!

We all have demons, whether or not we are/were alcoholics or not. No one is perfect or free of sin...for that we are most thankful to Him who gave His life for us. I'm glad you are able to drive by "the store"-what will power through the grace of God that you have. You should be so proud of yourself that you are able to resist the temptation before you and yes, I think it will take a lifetime of constant reassurance, strength, hope, prayer and love to remain sober for the rest of your life. It's a hard battle, but one day at a time. Can you ever have imagined that you would be alcohol free for an ENTIRE year at this point? What an accomplishment. How much better do you feel having come this far? How much better do you feel about others? Your job? Your family? Life in general? You will continue just as you have...FREE of the worries of alcohol and all the BAD stuff that comes with it. You are free, like a bird, soaring above and knowing that God is your guide, helping you fly on His path...granting you the joy and peace of living your life without desparation or dependence on alcohol. Congrats on your journey to freedom. You should be so proud! xoxo, Leslie PS-I'm sure the roses did cost a bunch, but as my sweetheart said to me...it's not the cost, it's how they made you feel when you received them...whatever that cost, it makes it all worth it knowing that you felt special and that you are loved so much. Good Morning Scott!
