Done prison service tonight and heard a powerful share from a lifer with many years sobriety, like he was really talking to me about how I had been feeling. Felt better because of it, so thought i'd post here.
It seems that when i have passed the alcohol in the shops, I have felt a longing for it, even noticed the prices.
It's my birthday tomorrow which hasn't panned out the way I have wanted it to, I have drank on my birthdays before so guess i may be concerned with that. Also coming up to 3 years in a weeks time, my sponsor always says sober birthdays makes you think about a drink.
Thanks for reading my share.
In over 50 years of drinking I don't think I got very close to even one year of
sobriety. Still trying (2 weeks) and back at meetings after 17 years.
Don't look in those shops.We have Victoria Bitter here and when I see the V.B. sign I think Vile Brew.
