I drank for 30 years. It started out on a pink cloud. It took awhile before it became the ugly, dark cloud, black hole that was my bottom. It didn't happen in 30 days, it took 30 years to get there.
My sobriety started out on a pink cloud but that dissipated a fairly short time in and was replaced by unfamiliar uncharted territory. The good news is that as I became more familiar with the territory, my peace and serenity grew by leaps and bounds. As that happened, I rediscovered many things that I feared were lost and I looked at them with a new perspective and joy. Oh yeah, and by the way... it happened a lot quicker than 30 years!!!
Don't quit five minutes before the miracle. You never know when it will happen...but it will happen!!
