I am alive and I will keep trying and never give up on the possibility of what I know will be a better life in sobriety.
I walked into the rooms of AA feeling I was a hopeless,helpless,worthless,useless, POS. a complete f up. Low self esteem would be an understatement. I had absolutley no self esteem.
One day at a time, praying like crazy, working the steps, going to meetings, fighting the obsession to drink every time I had to face something in life, praying like crazy, working the steps, going to meetings........And kept fighting the obsession to drink.
Eventually I started liking myself. I could look at myself in the mirror and not hate who I saw.
I also ceased fighting alcohol. The problem ad been removed just as promised in the BB.
Getting sober was the hardest thing I ever did.
Staying sober has been easy.
It took T.I.M.E. and worth every second of fighting.
You can do it,too, Elaisson.
And AA hasn't given up on you. We have hope. Always do.
