Audrey, like Freshstart I had a moment of clarity and made a decision that I had had enough and knew the drink I just ordered would be the last one I would drink (8/26/13 so my sobriety date is 8/27/13). The execution of this plan has been difficult and tested my resolve. My path is not the same as some others, I found my solution in AA's 12 steps but I also use some of the AVRT techniques and weekly psychoanalysis in treatment combined with daily posts here on SR, which is a melting pot of methods almost all of which I can gain some knowledge and move forward.
I thought this quote is appropriate:
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!
Audrey Hepburn
