Welcome, sobriety can be a very joyful way of living, or it can be hell.
I speak from my heart, and have experienced both.
I went to AA because I read studies on long term sobriety for people
with rehab, aftercare and AA. The results were 50% higher that a person would make it to 1, or even 3 years sobriety with AA.
That said there are two parts to AA, the program (steps) and the fellowship. Going to
meetings gave me hope, working the steps gave me life.
It has been many months since I have had a compulsion to drink, yell or loose my temper.
AA has given me physical, emotional, and spiritual sobriety, and for that I am eternaly
Grateful
Hope and Love
