Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and
people like you 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.
FREEDOM.....
What is this 'FREEDOM' we
hear so often in recovery
mean?
FREEDOM from what? FREEDOM
from whom? FREEDOM...what
is it??????
How do you explain the FREEDOM
you know? You feel inside? The
FREEDOM you want? The FREEDOM
you see others have and exper-
ience?
As a newcomer 19 yrs ago, I
had no idea what others were
talking about. All I know is it
was something I wanted.
I would listen intentively as
to what they did on a daily
bases in their life following
in the footsteps of others in
recovery.
Many talked about this WILLING-
NESS, This OPENMINDEDNESS,
and lastly this HONESTY that
they had to have in order to
recieve this FREEDOM from
alcohol or drugs.
It was called the KEY that un-
locked them from obsession to
drink or use. It allowed them
to stop the merry-go-round
so they could get off.
Once the spinning
stopped
then they were able to focus on
what was necessary to stay
sober or clean and follow the
steps in and open and honest
way to achieve that FREEDOM
many talked about.
Would you like to explain that
FREEDOM you'd like to have, or
what u've experienced so for in
ur life?
