Day 4 and Going Strong

Hello, Well I got through my first week of my new job. I did some drinking at first unfortunately even though I had been going to meetings. But something clicked inside me on Thursday morning after having drank on Wednesday night. I was driving to work and talking to a friend of mine who is very close to God. All of a sudden I started crying and crying because for the first time in years I actually felt the presence of my higher power. It was even a bit scary. But ever since that day I realized that I did not have to do this alone. That God was going to take away my desire to drink one day at a time. I met with my sponsor Saturday morning and it was great. She gave me much to think about. For the first time in my life I feel that I can finally do this. I will not drink today.

Hey violet thats really cool. I prayed for several years to god to help me. He finally took my desire to drink away from me. Sounds like the same for you. Im so happy for you. Congrats on day 4, it will only get better.
