It took lots of times for me. It doesn't have to be that way though. The point is i finally stayed sober up until today by not ever giving up. I also got a lot of inspiration from the example of others.
I felt at times that i would never 'get it' , that the odds were against me, that i was too old, too young, too far gone.....etc
Today i am sober.
I still don't find it easy at times or that it comes naturally.
But I AM sober and for that my gratitude is boundless.
You can and will stay sober if you decide that enough is simply enough.
Period.
