M>  re - Was one of those ...(who could have something really bad happen 
M> to us and keep on in the addiction) - no I meant to use the present 
M> tense, as I was thinking of the compulsive overeating or food addiction
M> that is still very much active in me.  Some really bad things have 
M> happened - not just my husband's heart attack, but also in my own 
M> health getting harder and harder to do stuff, etc. and yet I still 
M> struggle with this addiction.
I tend to find one of my addictions to fall back on (eating, sex, ect) when 
bad things occurs to me or a loved one.. Hopefully the 12 program will become
an addiction I can fall back on.  At a alanon meeting a couple weeks a ago 
someone shared that her husband took to drink after 10 yrs. He used to preach 
to her that his program was stronger then hers.  Anyone can slip, we just 
ope
and pray they find their way back..
M> So I can still see the disease is at work in me and only the Higher 
M> Power/s know what will happen to me if I ever use alcohol or drugs 
M> again.  By the way, if I make it to midnight tonight clean and sober, I
M> will have ten years of sobriety and clean time.  Thanks EVERYONE, I 
M> couldn't have done it without YOU.
 
Congratulations on your ten years.
