From my first post almost seven years ago. "My life is out of control. Alcohol appears to be my god and god hates me". This truly was the way it was for me. Alcohol or how alcohol made me feel was the most important thing in my life at that time. At the very same time I hated who I was and the way I acted. How my wife found the strength to faithfully stand by my side is still a mystery to me. This weekend marks six years sober and I'm thankful for every single day. As ubiquitous as alcohol is in society the voice calling me to imbibe has been muted. It didn't happen over night but with each day living life on life's terms rebirth did happen. If you are reading this and looking for a reason to stop drinking then you are in the right place. Read the stories and if you can, find support. You are worth it and your life has meaning. I will remain sober today, Sam
