Hi All,
So, I am part of the programme.
Two years ago when I first came on here I used to look at Pumpkin and watch the work she was putting into her sobriety. She was going to AA meeetings, she was talking to her Sponsor.
I knew then that I wasn't going to be getting sober for a while. I wasn't doing those things. I tried to stay sober and of course, I failed.
How times have changed.
Things seemed to have clicked. I have set out on my suggestions. I am speaking to my sponsor and others. Already, I realise that I am an example to other alcoholics as though I am new to sobriety, new to actually doing the programme, I am only a few days ahead and look where I am at.
I see that and knowing it motivates me to work at the 'Just for Today' card.
No more the ecstasy of sobriety. Instead, there is just life and in the word of my sponsor 'balance'. In the words of another alocoholic 'you are starting to realise what serenity is.'
Life is nice. Just nice. No more, no less.
Why? Because, I am working on it.
I like being sober. I like being part of AA. I like the fact that each day for the rest of my life, like so many others before me, I can do some very simple things, which will ensure I remain sober.
Good.
Love to you all.
Chimp!
