Hi all. It was a week ago today that I was hungover, ashamed, lost, hopeless, sad, embarresed, etc... Today I don't feel those things. I have gone back to AA, reconnected with my sponsor, and feel like I'm on the road to recovery. I am an alcoholic - no doubt about it. I have been going to AA for 3 years off and on (mostly off). I really am going to go to any length to assure my sobriety.

The reason for this post is two fold. 1. I am very proud of my week and VERY GRATEFUL for it. 2. To show anyone out there struggling that it is possible. I would put my obsession to drink against anyone out there. If I can do it, so can you. I have a looooong way to go. But I will continue to force my actions to do the right thing. Even if I mentally don't want to do it. Like going to meetings, reading, participating in this site, working out, etc... If I am left alone to do what I want, I will self destruct. It's all about creating a new life.

As the saying goes, "Nothing changes, if nothing changes". I want to be sober. And I want my 30 day token more than you'll ever know. I have not been 30 days sober since I was 15. That was a looong time ago. Thank you everyone for support. There really is good in the world. A week ago I didn't see that.

Best of luck everyone!!!

Way to go! You SHOULD be proud of your week. Welcome back to AA and keep going to those meetings. Today is my 11th day. I know what you mean... I haven't been 11 days sober since I can't even remember. Probably before I took my first drink. I want that 30 day token badly too!

Keep in touch!

Congrats to both of you guys.

I've read your posts and watched your struggle and am soooo happy for you that you are going to AA. I have 80 days today and if it weren't for AA and this site, I'd still be drinking. Good for you, Reggie.
