I had to ask myself ….do I want to be sober
more than I want to drink. There can be no
in-between. A simple question....do ya or don't
ya.
Once I entered recovery and was taught about
alcohol addiction and what it was doing to my
mind and body, the answer was clear.
I needed and wanted to be sober more than
anything and I needed someone to teach me
how.
While in rehab being taught this vital information,
alcohol was removed from our home so that when
I returned to my little family and still so newly sober,
going thru many emotions, feelings, alcohol would
not be a temptation.
Reaching for recovery tools was and still is a way
of life for me some 29 yrs now. They are all my lifelines
to grab ahold of when everyday life's situations come
knocking on my door, ruffling my feathers.
In doing so I have remain sober no matter what
as I continue to reinforce my recovery foundation
making it stable and secure for yrs to live upon.
I want to be sober more than anything in this
world, for without recovery I wouldn't be here
today.
