fire,
I can tell you what has worked for me and that is working the 12 steps of AA.
I do not mean to sound like a cliche, but the harder I have worked, the faster and bigger results I have gotten.
I am finishing up my 9th step and I feel so stupid saying this....but truly I am amazed before I am halfway through! I felt SO at peace this week. It is 10 days until my 1 year sobriety birthday and I never thought I would come this far and change this much.
i made my amends to my 17 year old son today and I am on a high like I have never been before.
So...I will use another cliche....
Don't leave before the miracle happens!
ETA: oops, I just read your other thread and I probably sound like one of those people huh? The ones you want to say to hell with you? Sorry, I know I sound like a sap. I don't always. But yeah, life is pretty damm good right now
