Journal Entry for February 16, 2008
I went to the ER then rehab on 2/5...got out on 2/11, and have been sober since then. I'm taking it day by day!
I just realized I had a serious problem with alcohol in January.

Let me know if you come around again, I decided to remove friends here who have been inactive a long time. I hope you are well!
