Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
Little did I know back then on Aug.
11, 1990 that i would be heading into
many new changes in my life once
I got sober.
I spent 28 days in rehab after my
family stepped in and did an intervention
on me. After that I went thru a 6 week
out patiant after care program.
I picked up the tools and knowledge
of my disease and thus was set on the
path of recovery learning to live life
one day at a time without a drink.
Just by merely following the 12 steps
and principles set down before us in
the program of Alcoholic Anonymous.
Over the past 18 yrs, i made a move to
Houston with my little family for 10
yrs feeling home sick the entire time
I was there.
In my 25 yr marriage, i was drunk 7 yrs
into and the rest sober. I brought 2 awesome
kids intothe world whom ended up independant
and well adjusted.
When i thought nothing else could possibly
get any better, i returned to my hometown
here to Baton Rouge alone, separating from
my spouse which ended in divorce last June.
I met a wonderful man in recovery and have
just recently remarried which for both of us
is our second time go round.
It's amazing how when we stay sober and work
our program on a daily bases we never know what
good will happen in our lives....sometimes bad
things happen first before they get better.
Today some 18 yrs later in sobriety, i finally
recieved more of the promises offered to us
when i finally became honest in all my affairs....
Because of that I am now happy joyous and free.
Im kinda anxious to know whats next to come
around the bend.
