90 days

Hey all ,i have'nt posted in quite awhile, mainly because i've been enjoying my reward. What reward you say? The reward of soberiety. Around 80 or so days ago i stumbled across the community deep in the despair of alcohol withdrawal, looking for answers , comfort, and hope. And what i found here quite possibly changed my life forever. At first i was weary to take the advice, of this so called * AA fellowship*. I thought to myself *selfishly* if i cant do it on my own then why do it at all? I did do it by myself for awhile , but it got really damn hard. I then took some advice from some forum members and went to a meeting , now i wont stop going, i seek that next step like i used to seek that next bottle of wild turkey. Alcoholism is pure lunacy, i have went through a personel hell the past couple of months... i guess my withdrawal lasted longer than some ppl report. Severe Depression, homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation.... sever pressure on my head, and to this day i still get what i call adrenaline dumps its weird and i cant explain it, ALL of this is gone now except the adrenaline rush thing... I dont care what some damn Quack doctor in some fancy medical plaza says it wasnt depression... any way i dont know where i am going with this, I AM SOBER, i love life.
On a final note ANYONE can have this ,ANYONE ,i cant stress that enough, i thought it was impossible, it is not!!

Recovery is a long ol' winding road but it will get you where your going..
where do you wanna go?

Humbling Regards,

Flood

When I stopped drinking I thought my life was over. But my life was just beginning. I love it.

Flood congrats on the 90 days, that is awesome!!!!

You have found what I found................. a solution!!!!

Just to prepare you, you need to stay on top of working your program, keeping in mind always that alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerful, many of us get feeling so good that our disease will convince us that we are not alcoholics and just one can not hurt!!

You think it is good now! It gets better, stay on top of those steps and work with others, remember in order to keep it you need to give it away!!!

Thanks for sharing your gratitude, you have helped me stay sober today along with everyone who has read this.

Congrats, Flood!

Success stories (as well as newcomers) help keep me sober. I'm about halfway to where you are at in my latest recovery journey.
