Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent had a
drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely
grateful.
Its been awhile since ive picked
up a chip...or celebrated my
recovery.
I did the first 7 yrs before moving
to Houston, then my sponsor sent
me a few thru the mail.....
Im coming up on 17 yrs sober and im
back in Baton Rouge again attending
my AA meetings and seeing many of
my AA buddies before i left.
I havent decided what i will do next
month. Ill cross that bridge when i
get to it....
Picking up a chip allows others to see
the miracle of how the program
works....it gives the newcomer hope
knowing that if others can stay
sober under any circumstances one
day at a time then it is also possible
for them.
My drug of choice was always alcohol.
no im not gonna say i never did drugs...
cause i did smoke some weed back
when even tho i felt goofy doing it....
When someone dusted my joint with
angel dust and i hallucinated...it
scared the u know what out of
me, so i stuck to alcohol which
seemed harmless at the time....
Needless to say the progress of
my disease kicked my azz and i
tried to end my life.
Thank God my family stepped
in and did for me what i couldnt do
for myself. For them and AA I
am truely grateful.
Whatever ur drug of choice is...
it is ALL alive and well and still kicking
butt from here in Baton Rouge to
Kingdom Come.
Thanks for letting me share.
