For this alcoholic, it took a lot of hard work to get, and remain, sober.
I still work at it.
Although I have not relapsed in over 12 years, I want to insure that I don't.
So, I continue to work for it.
All that work,
all those years . . .
I can look back on them and see, with the benefit of hindsight, that it was , and is, worth it.
I can also pass on my experience to those who are sincerely seeking sobriety.
We can celebrate our sober years together.
If wishes were . . .
I don't see how I could have effortlessly slid into sobriety.
I never happened that way.
I got in the way.
I hope you get your wish, notsosober77.
All the best to you.
