You have a beautiful way of telling a story that is different and yet the same as many women. I also found out that there is a genetic factor. Of course, not until after 10 years of drinking. It was a big secret in my family. When I got sobor my daughters knew my story and I really believe it helped them stay aware of the possibility for them. Recently a pile of major life changes allowed me to think I could relapse. When I got sobor my life changed in many wonderful ways. It was too much good that allowed me to get the delusional thought that I could have an occasional drink. I've heard others who latch on to this crazy idea but I still can't figure out how we lose our way after such a long time (12 sober years). I met an exciting man and my subconscious knew he could also be very dangerous for me but my ego took over and I believed it could work. He is out of my life now, and I am rebuilding mine. I think this is a pattern that is more common for women. Is there a Group here that would fit my situation? I love this place but I am still having trouble navigating and finding my place. I am enjoying everything I find but your story really touched me in many ways. Thank you for sharing and any information you might have for me will be greatly appreciated.
