First time using 12 Steps to quit
Today is day 75. I emerged from a 30 day treatment program a month ago. It introduced me to AA and the 12 step program. This is now the longest stretch without alcohol in 25 years. It took 2 withdrawal seizures, a brain injury, large debt, loss of a prominent leadership position in a business, divorce and partial loss of the custody of my two daughters to get to this point. I attend AA meeting, After-Care treatment program, volunteer with those in need, and I am rebuilding my career and trust with friends/family. Despite many adversities, I have the hope I will succeed with the help of my supports, my will, and my trust in the Higher Power. I have read about and have seen failure, so I know that the path is not easy. Wish me well as I wish you the same.
