I went to a meeting tonight. I had the least amount of sobriety (35 days.) A woman shared about all the risky behaviors she engaged in while drinking. She risked her life regularly. Then one day she had the thought "Why not get really risky and quit drinking, get sober and treasure and respect my life?" She has done just that. I liked that message. When drinking, I didn't care if it killed me. Many times I hoped it would. Now, I am taking the real life risk, living sober one day at a time, and it feels good.

I believe you made the BEST decision in your life. From my life experience "I" could never quit. I needed a plan of ACTION. My plan includes AA, my husband and son are both active in their recovery too. Of course, I ( my HP) found this wonderful place of support that I come to each evening.

Keep coming back,

Once you're over the hump risky becomes clarity. As in, 'what the the heck was I thinking'. Congrats but most importantly; keep it up!

Thank you. This is a great post.

I remember in my 30s, I couldn't imagine letting go of the drink, and made a lot of foolish decisions. I was very selfish, and self-destructive.

After starting a family, I realize that I risk more than just me when I drink. I need to keep reminding myself though, that I am sober not for the family, but for me first. Oxygen mask on me first. :-)

Yes, we did some dangerous things while out there, that God would want us not to do. Thank God He brought us through all of that.
