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.
I like seeing people return here
to SR. It's like a family in here
once we get to know a little bit
about them.
I remember your name so it's
comforting to see it again.
I recently went to a meeting
where someone who had 20
22 yrs went back out but returned
to share with us that they had
quantity of yrs sober but not
quality in so many words.
I understand how that can happen
yet dont undertand why would
anyone want to lose those yrs.
of happiness and gifts promised
us if we stayed sober or clean.
I can go to a meeting or read here
how people leave and return to
share that life with alcohol or drugs
is still alive and well and continueing
to kick butt big time.
That if they stopped working a
recovery program that the urge
to drink or drug sneaks up on
them very quickly. Its so cunning
baffling and powerful that it will
catch u off guard when least
expected.
All i have is a daily reprieve
from a drink and as long as
i work my recovery program
of sharing my ESH or what it
was like before during and
after alcohol then im pretty
sure i will stay sober today.
It doesnt matter if i have a
zillion days sober or one
day sober, im still one drink
away from a drunk.
SR has been an awesome
lifeline and another tool
for me to use in my recovery.
