Lisa's Sober Blog: Special: Saturday Post

Welcome! Thanks for checking out the blog. Yes. You found me here, sober!! As is becoming usual for me these days. What's my point today? It's still good for me to be sober. It had been a long time in the waiting. I started drinking as a teenager and continued throughout my adulthood off and on the bottle. Never weaned.

Today I have been blessed with sobriety and it is my desire for others to get sober, too. Not only to be sober but to be happy, as well. Sobriety without happiness is a reality and don't I know it. I was definitely miserable when I first started out this time in sobriety and I was so angry.

After coming to a conclusion that I was done being treated badly with the alcoholism I tried quitting a lot. I was addicted and couldn't go for long without the drink. At the end I was drinking everyday. I was sick.

Now I wake up daily and the urge to drink is gone. It's a constant amazement to me! I noticed that several other psychological problems, which I used to encounter, such as extreme anxiety and severe depression are all but gone. I do have some of both but nothing that is debilitating as it was before in drinking days.

Thanks for reading!
