I had to be REALLY willing to do what ever it took for me to stay sober after I got out of medical detox!

I was REALLY willing!

In Detox they told me if I wanted a chance at long term sobriety I needed to go to at least 90 AA meetings in 90 days and get a sponsor.

I was REALLY willing, I went to more then 90 AA meetings in 90 days and I got a sponsor as well.

I was REALLY willinig to go to any length to stay sober.... September the 18th I will have been sober for 3 years.

I drank for 40 years, I did not draw a sober breath the last 5 years of my drinking because I was both physically and mentally addicted to alcohol.

Are you REALLY willing?

If you are REALLY willing to do what ever it takes to stay sober, ask your self this:

"If I am REALLY willing....... REALLY willing, then I will do what I know has worked for tons of other people won't I?"

Am I being mean when I say what I am saying? No, I have walked in your shoes, I have made all of the excuses of why I can not do this or that! I know that until I was REALLY ready to quit drinking I was NOT ready to do what ever I needed to to stop and stay stopped!

I am saying the above because I love you! I have walked in your shoes for many more years then you have, I found a solution for my alocoholism and I am passing on to you out of love what was so freely given to me and I accepted when I was ready to REALLY quit and stay quit.

I am saying this because I love you as a fellow alcoholic, I love you as a human being.

I am saying this because I know for a fact that there is a solution that will work for you if you are willing to do the work.
