It was other alcoholics in recovery that taught me how
to live a sober life one day at a time beginning August
11, 1990. A 28 rehab stay of listening, learning, absorbing
and then applying recovery tools and knowledge to all
areas of my everyday life, with willingness, openmindedness
and honesty to achieve health, happiness and continued
abstinence from my addiction.
Staying connected to our recovery lifelines be it recovery
meetings like AA, or meetings online or here in SR we never
have to have our misery refunded back to us that comes
with living a rollercoaster ride of addiction.
I listened and held on to many of those folks paving the road
of recovery for me to follow as my life depended on it. I didnt
take their experiences, strengths and hopes they shared for
granted because it was and still is what saves me from getting
drunk, going crazy or ultimately death.
31 years of continuous sobriety strong one day at a time
just like many before me.
Put your addiction to rest for good and no matter what,
don't take that first drink or else it your addiction will return
with vengeance.
Welcome to your new life in recovery.
