5 years sober today I posted on here years ago. Just wanted to come back and share that I’ve got 5 years of sobriety today. I didn’t think I would survive my drinking. I certainly didn’t think I could be and stay sober. Sobriety is possible. For me, it took a deep conviction supported by countless vain attempts to control my drinking that, for me drinking was not something I could control once it was in my system and that I was going to die from it. Also, the awareness that even when not drinking I am always at risk of returning to drinking if I allow myself the comfort of unabated self-pity. Im not a “meeting-maker” or a Big book thumper...but my foundation in sobriety is 100% based upon AA. However one gets or stays sober is not important. I’m just here to share a little hope for the next person who is drinking alone in a dark room at 3am, in a blackout, searching for human connection on a computer screen. There is hope. |
