The absolute best part about seeking sobriety for me was finding this website. The absolute best thing about finding this website for me (second to meeting all of these lovely people of course) was finding such a wealth of spiritual guidance.

I am 237 days sober, and sobriety never enters my mind unless prompted by other. I spend all of my free time now exploring and accepting who and what I am, learning to love myself, and rediscovering my joy. I read lots of self help/spiritual type books. I find gentle tugs and not so gentle shoves from the universe, god, life, what ever you want to call it at work in all aspects of my life.

What good can you accomplish by worrying about damage done? Tell your higher power "thy will be done", accept today and be grateful for all of its gifts, and embrace your new life for all of its wonderous possibilities.
Thanks for your reply

I take so much from your kind words, support and ideas.

I have no problem and accept i am powerless to alcohol and also accept that i should never drink the stuff again.

1 am 39 days sober (not going to bore you of amount i drank) and also new that it would never and shouldnt be easy, after what i put my body and mind through it would be wrong to think different.

As explained before on differnts posts as much as i cant help it i was BORN TO WORRY, if i have a twitch i worry, if i have a headache, i worry if my arm is hurting i worry, and so on and on, This i belive is the only thing that will drive me back to my old ways and say " F... I. if i have a drink i wont feel these things or worry if only for a few hours.

Everybody has said the same just dont worry (doctor,partner,brother and so on) but thats kjkust me as a person.

Anyway thanks for kind words

Good Luck

Robbo
