Last Year Today was my Bottom

I have no recollection of April 11th 2008. The whole day was a blackout. My drinking had reached an all time high...or low. Tomarrow is my 1 year birthday...on Easter at that. I surely don't compare my rising up to that of Jesus but I sure am happy!!!!! For everyone who struggles and wonders...it is so worth it!!!

You don't need to compare, but it certainly is an awesome coincidence.

I hope to share the samething, but alcohol is not my only issue though, I'll have to deal also with my antisocialism behavior that really became worser with alcoholism.
