Knowing I had alcohol near by
if i was trying to quit drinking
would only be a temptation
and a drink ready to happen.
I was glad my spouse wasnt
a drinker.
He honored and respected my
recovery after i went thru a
28 day rehab they initiated
thru family intervention.
I learned about alcoholism
and how it affects us who
cant drink normally. Learning
about my disease was extremely
helpful as well as recieving the
tools of steps and principles
to live a day at a time w/out
alcohol.
Staying away from people places
and things dealing with alcohol
was suggested to me early on
if i was to remain sober.
I admitted and accepted I had
a drinking problem and thus
needed help from others in
recovery who had long lenghts
of sobriety to guide me alone
the way.
Some 19 yrs sober today I
continue on my path of recovery
forever remaining teachable and
always on guard from this
disease of alcoholism which
is totally cunning baffling and
powerful.
