2/2/13 I started this thread. I cant believe a year has gone by and so much has happened. I have dealt with my mom getting sick, my dog dying, a vacation, PAWS, braces, and tons of beast activity. I have decided to drink...twice. I have dealt with that too.
Rational Recovery has helped me immeasurably. Without it I would not be sober today. Learning how to recognize the beast and separate from it has truly changed my life. I have no "cravings" for alcohol for the most part. I don't need to attend a meeting or do an inventory... I am just sober.
All of you that helped me through this year... Thank you. I have not achieved the perfection that I had hoped for and when I started this thread I thought I had made a Big Plan. Little did I know....I was not anywhere near ready for a BP.
However, I am now. I have learned so much in this past year. I live my life without alcohol and I am happy. I like the person I have become. I am a definite work in progress but, I feel as if I am getting there.
