Welcome. I'm pleased to announce my two year sobriety. Amazed? I sure am! A couple of years ago I was a mess. My life was in a shambles. I was there picking through the rubble.
One thing about drinking was that I didn't really notice how my life was going. I always figured I'd do whatever I wanted, like, drinking and smoking and taking drugs, I mean, and then I'd stop. I didn't worry about it that much until I noticed that I couldn't quit. Time after time, I tried to put it down and I simply could not stay off the bottle (or a cigarette for that matter).
I feel glad about this milestone. There were times I was afraid it would not come. Not because I wanted to drink because I haven't wanted to in a long time but because I had irrational fears not unlike some other alcoholics after quitting. It's difficult getting sober; All the chemicals in the brain want rebalancing; Entire lifestyles may need to change.
With all that said, tomorrow is a new day which I have not yet seen. I can say with all honesty that I look forward to it.
Thank you for reading.
