Recovery is the Answer

I haven't been here for over a month and it is good to be back.......

My last post was at 2 days sober and I am now over a month sober.....

I am grateful today for my sobriety. Without the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, friends in recovery, and my higher power I would not be sitting here with a sense of being "ok" with my life as it is today.

After 10 years of being sober I relapsed last fall and I started coming back into sobriety in January. After several slips I now have over a month sober. In less then a few months I went from a drink to a crack pipe. This disease DOES wait for us. It is cunning, baffling, and powerful.

I am grateful for all of my recovery today. I don't see my slip as a setback; it was and is a part of my recovery today! I certainly don't want to do it again; and if I look to my higher power on a daily basis for guidance it won't.

I get a daily reprieve contingent on my spiritual condition........

Recovery Is Possible; and Attainable!
