Hard to answer when the question is vague Miz :) but I got sober in spite of my family, in spite of the friends I'd collected, in spite of the way I solved problems, in spite of the way I regulated my moods. in spite of the fear I had over change and responsibility and the future.... in spite of everything, I had a simple binary choice. Life or death. I made a good choice. I know you can too Miz :) D |
(((Mizz!))) |

Hey, how about a few more words about what's up? |

( all writings are done in a very calm voice. I am not angry or emotional. Just inquiring....no one really has the answer) It’s different for everyone, but several here have figured out some common things: acceptance of the problem is the first, then the second is making it the highest priority in your life; I.e. doing anything and everything you can to avoid drinking, until that becomes second nature. That’s pretty much it. |
Hey Mizz, so what happens at a year? That was a surprisingly turbulent milestone for me.. I think it had to do with unmet expectations and realizing the magnitude of the changes that still needed to occur. I'm not a fan of indoctrinating programs or authority either. Just of freedom and being in control of my own life again. Contrary to being powerless I think sobriety is the most empowering thing I've ever done for myself.. |
So good to "see" you Mizz. Anything else you feel comfortable to share? |
Hoping you find your way back. |
Thanks for the bump, less. Mizz, I've also been thinking about you. I miss you and hope to see you again soon, drinking or not. xo O |
