the begining

im not sure how to start this out or if this is where i am suppose to start my story..reading some of the other posts im trying to get the idea. my story is probably alot like others I have been a black out drinker since i was 14 .. am from an alcoholic family- both sides... majority of them are still active drinkers... have been to treatment more than a couple times.... well basically to sum it up I KNOW I am an alcoholic...I DO want to live a sober life. feel like ive hit Rock Bottom AGAIN... (dwi's) have way to many things at stake if i wereto start drinking again.... but i still want to some days... i know im suppose to go to meetings and get a sponsor.... but that always seems like the hard part.. finding a sponsor...thats why im here, so i can be myself. as of right now i am 2days sober.... otherwise 52 days sober with 2 slips... not sure how i should calculate that ...theres "way" more to my story of course ... but this is the start i guess...
