I have been a member of this forum for 8 years now and although I have been sober for 2 weeks I don't consider myself sober.
I have just got out of hospital for the third time this year suffering from Diverticulosis. The meds I am on are making me physically sick, but I will get better and that is when I become my own worst enemy.
I know for the sake of my life I have to quit the booze. I have been in and out of aa for years but I honestly don't like it, although my best friend is in it with 22 years of sobriety I have never got the hang of it. I just can't relate to the Higher Power part of the programme no matter how hard I try.
So I thought that while I am not tempted by alcohol right now I would come back here and see if anyone has any ideas as how to help me stay sober. I know it's all down to me, I really DO know that, but a little friendly advice (or maybe not so friendly) may do me some good.
