6 months today.

I rarely start a thread but today I felt I wanted to share my journey. It has been an eye opening experience. I started out with, I will stop for a while and get this under control to realizing alcohol was my enemy. I never want to court my enemy again. It made me act stupid, drunk call, slur my words, black out, feel embarrassed and wonder who I called and what I said. Why would I ever want to drink again. It is funny, sometimes I think about a drink, like when I come home tired and it is late, but when I remember how it treated me, I don't want it anymore. I think ALCOHOL and I are now DIVORCED. I won't take it back into my life to hurt me again. SR has been here all the way for me. The chat room when I need it, the 24 hour club, (that keeps me in line daily) and the help of all of you. I love our online meetings. There are so many that have helped me, I can't name you all, but you know who you are. My blood pressure is good now and I no longer have to take blood pressure meds. Yep, I love being sober. Anyway, Thank you all, SR and the time and help you have all given me.
