Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like u here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely grateful.
Being sober is so much better than
being on a merry-go-round that u cant
seem to get off of.
You will recieve many suggestions of
what works for different people's
situations. all we can do is share
our own experiences, strengths and
hopes of similar situations.
For me, i attend meetings visit there
with folks then head home for peace
and quiet. Im not much for hanging
out with folks. I appreciate my own
time i spend alone and with my husband
and pets.
Ive worked in retail so ive had my time
with people and noise. Ive raised my
kids, so i enjoy solitude.
I enjoy riding as a passanger with my
spouse on our Harley on the open road.
That's the freedom I so enjoy and
appreciate in recovery.
People have come and gone in my life
and all that's left is me myself and I.
In recovery i am grateful for so much
and to have a second chance in life
to give away what was so freely passed
on to me all these yrs. is more than i
can ask for.
And i give away lots of my ESH right
here on SR in the comforts of my home
where it is peaceful and quiet.
I don't need to know about people
business or personal life so talking
and hanging out isnt that important
to me in my sober life.
The open road, my faith and a recovery
program keeps me content and happy
and sober one day at a time.
And that's how it works for me.
