Welcome! Next Thursday Lisa's Sober Blog will be a year old. I used to post here everyday at the start. After a time of indecision and uncertainty about the blog this past summer I continued writing here every Thursday. I began writing here when I was six months sober. I am sober a year and a half; my last drink on September 20, 2013.
It's been a satisfying experience sobering up. I didn't always think that. There were times when I had all but given up hope when I was in the midst of my addiction. I was sick. I was scared. It wasn't the easiest thing to sober up. I almost quit trying for it.
I went to treatment for alcoholism several times and spend long hours with the psychologist and the psychiatrist. I have talked at length with lawyers when I was in trouble with the law due to drinking who inadvertently counselled my alcoholism using their logic and skill. None of this kept me sober for long.
In writing the blog I have had an enjoyable experience so far. I was at a public function when a lady came up to me and said, "I read your blog, Lisa." That was cool. Nobody had said to me that they were a practicing alcoholic and read it yet.
If any who long for sobriety would be able to read the blog and have hope of lasting and long-term sobriety then that would be great, too.
I am still picking up the pieces after the complete and total devastation that alcoholism exacted in my life. There is much left to be done; many amends yet.
I hope my story will be inspirational to some. I thought that if I could get sober and talk about it that I could make an impression on others who would do the same.
Thank you for reading.
