Smile end of the line

Excellent thread, Levi. My bottom was the same as everyone else's. Financially broke, homeless. My girlfriend kicked me out of her house. It was not just my drinking that was the problem, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was unemployed. My depression was horrible. My antidepressants were also not working well. Suicidal thoughts and.....hmmm...let's see. Oh yeah, family was slowing distancing themselves.

Yeah, sounds about right. If you sense some humor, black as it may be, it is my way of laughing at myself. Thank God I can do that. I was in a really sh$$$y place.

Within a year of continuous sobriety and working the steps, I got my family back, money in the bank, depression greatly improved.

The woman and I are still apart. It is best for both of us. My car is registered, no court appearances. Life is good.


Thanks for letting me share.
