Hi SDH

I decided pretty early that I needed to change my life. My life was a drinkers life.
The only think that fits into that life is drinking.

I had a fairly scattered and chaotic life because that lent itself to regular drinking.
I needed a life that lent itself as well to whoever sober me was.

The drop in drop out again approach I had to drinking and periodic sobering up didn't really serve me as well sober. I needed a consistent effort. You're obviously doing well to get a year, and I'm not saying you have to be here everyday - but I think you need to maintain your recovery even when things are going well?

I was lucky in that I had no real limits as to what I could change....but 'what do I want from my sober life' and 'who do I think sober me is or might be like' are not bad places to start the introspection?

Congrats on your near year
