Hi Steve!
Thanks for sharing,
While I am not in Australia I am close by in Wellington NZ, on business from California. I have been on and off the sober bus for the past couple years more off it then not
but I think after spending the last 4 weeks here drinking non stop (how the heck does anyone manage it over here ?
) I mean geez, there are more bars here then I have ever seen anywhere in my life. I hit bottom the other night and this is day 1.5 of Sobriety, taking it one second at a time. But I know that life for me is better when I am not drinking, I mean maybe in my mind it is better for me, but looking at all us drunks when you are sober, makes you think, geez I wasted how much of my life doing what? Talking about What? Last night I went for a walk, first bit of exercise I had in a long time, to tell you the truth I finally feel like I just dont want it anymore. This is the first time that I am really thinking F--- that, its time to take our power back, be our real selves. Find freinds that love us for who we really are, not the drunk jeckel and hyde selves. Sorry bro, I hope im not appearing as hijacking your post here or anything, your thoughts just inspired me to speak and I wish you all the best in your recovery.
