Alive and well - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

IrishMan32 · 04-29-2005, 01:07 PM

A couple of months ago, i showed up in here, and was at that stage all over the place mentally.

I will soon be 6 months sober, and things are going good for me.

I have made a lot of new sober friends (not necessarily AA's), and have revived friendships with sober friends that i became detatched from.

Life is fairly good.

I have applied to go to one of the top universities in the UK (Bath) to study for a masters in Human Communication and Computing, and i have made great strides in rebuilding a genuine relationship with all of my family (mum, dad, 3 brothers and 3 sisters).

I just want to say thanks to anyone here who helped me with words of advise, and encouragement.

I realise that my next bad day is not too far away, but i have been going to a lot of meetings (almost every day), and i feel i am equiped to deal with the dark clouds when they arrive.

Thanks again.

Sounds like you have so much going for you! I'm so glad that you found
your way. The sober life gives so much back to us. It is such an
amazing thing.

Hey Irishman, you're sounding great. I remember your posts from a while back, and I must say things seem to be going great for you.

And Bath!! Well done. It is a fantastic university and a wonderful town. I went out with a guy who was at uni there in the early 90s and spent 4 happy years visiting him. And it's even better now - lots of money been spent on the place.

All the best for the future.

That is great news Irishman. Isn't it funy that the desire to stop drinking leads to a desire to -------. Sober? You can fill in the blank. Your life is a blank check to a bottomless account. Don W
