I have to stay sober no matter what. I have to or I know I'm going to die. That is the truth.
These are some pretty major insights, you should sit up an take notice and give yourself a pat on the back.
I've been sober a long time now. I know I won't drink today, but sometimes I need to be with people who get it because they live it. When I feel like this I go to a meeting or I post on a board like this one. Helping out others takes away the focus on myself and reminds me where I came from. It short-circuits any pity party I might feel like throwing myself LOL
If I have to point to one single thing that made me quit fighting and get real, I have to say it was the day I knew in my heart beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had only one choice left: sober up or die.
Like you, I chose life, and I've never regretted it
