Getting sober was very hard for me - maybe the hardest thing I ever did - but being the drinker I was and living the life I did was pretty hard too
For those of use with other problems apart from our alcoholism - low self esteem, depression, other illnesses - the way can be even harder.
But I knew there were no answers back the way I came - so I kept the faith that staying sober was the way forward for me.
It proved to be true for me - I'm sure it will be true for you too canterbelle
