Ive got 5 yrs soberity today
well i cant beleive it , but then i can but what seemed a lifetime away is here today. I can recall where I was exactly what I was doing 5 yrs ago today . today 5 yrs ago I was commin clean with what had happened to my family and wasnt no easy task, will they beleive me will they be mad at me , will they support me . I was soo scared of admitting to another human being the natures of my wrongs , And my family has stood behind me 1000% . What a big breath I took after saying it outloud. I knew I was going to be OK as long as I had there support . Theres many out there that stuggle with telling loved one, shame guilt embarasment , and sooo many other feeling that we hid inside each glass or bottle . Im here to say , yes it was hard but in the end it made a differance in staying sober in my life , They knew all along I was a alkie but its hard for a loved one to call you out on it , My family just accepted me for who I was . And prayed one day that I would come to find Im worth more to myself and others sober. I was on the top of a peaked roof and I could of fallen either way, Staying drunk im my own self pity of its so so's fault or find the will and way to get myself help. I choose to get help and Im so greatful to my HP for being in my life and showing me a softer more easier way, I dont know how to repay other then share my experiences with those who still suffer and hope I can make an impact on there lifes to change . It is possible were proof of that ... Thanks SR for giving me a place I can feel at home and meet some fantasic ppl who share the same things .. peace out all

endzoner,
I'm sure you could miss one meeting after proving yourself for FIVE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait for 5 years. The stupid memories I have of drinking won't bother me as much by then. I shall follow in your footsteps. Congrats!
