I have made it to year 9 , just!
This year has been hard to stay sober! I don't particularly know why, maybe i was expecting that in time being an alcoholic would fade, the longer I was sober. Its my birthday today of 9 years sobriety. I have started more frequently to think about having a cold beer or a glass of wine on a hot summers day to enable me to relax. I question , have I changed ? could I drink normally? The reality is I realise I have to work harder to stay sober, I am hoping this will pass , as it has before. Amen.
