Hello everyone,
I feel more than a little guilty that I haven't checked into SR for a long while. I just ran out of steam sometime before xmas and have been plodding along ever since.
Still sober and extremely grateful to have put all of my preconceptions and prejudices about AA to one side and hit a meeting in October.
I'm starting to realise just how sick I was, and the extent to which I was prepared to believe the lies I told myself.
Also my sobriety has removed a key element of the conflicts I have been involved with (wife, family, friends - even customers and suppliers) ... What remains however is another issue to be dealt with. I'm not sure I have the energy.
So I am still tired. And tired of being tired. Yet astonished that I could have got anything done at all when I was drinking.
And I'm not drinking now.
In fact I am beyond 'not drinking'. I am sober.
And ultimately, this is all that matters.
Thank you all for keeping this thread alive. I'm going to catch up in the next few days, and hopefully start reporting for duty again soon.
Stay well
Fradley
