16 Months - Its About You Today is 16 Months clean and Sober for me. That’s great that’s 16 Months of Freedom, 16 Months of an actual Life, yes including the up and downs struggles and joys, I have discovered that's what life is about.
I have days when I am crazy still and occasions when I think of drinking, but I also have the support and tools I found here and in my program.
My program has taken me so far from a wreck drinking as much as I could every day until I could not feel or until I was unconscious, through the early physical withdrawals, the depression, the fear, the anger, the full range of emotions plus the financial chaos the harm I had done myself my family, my friends and others both near and far.
It was not always easy dealing with reality as It was presented to me, but by staying Sober one day at a time and learning to ask for help and sticking to my program which is for me; praying, reading meetings (lots) and talking to other members. Doing this I have been able to stay clean and sober, get back a good relationship with my daughter, get good work, get my out of control finances in order, work on all the other aspects of life as they come up.
I no longer wake up in my own filth in the morning, instead I wake up and say hi to a God of my understanding and my feet hit the floor, my head is clear and there is no fear in my heart.
How good is that? I feel content at times and yet I am told by those who know that It keeps getting better J
If you struggling or your New here then hang on it is so worth it.
To all of you who use SR, my Love and thanks and for those who have held me and still do my Love and my friendship.

I got so tired of people telling me that it gets even better.. I felt it was minimizing my accomplishments. Now after almost 5 years I gotta agree it has gotten even better than I ever imagined life could be.
Congrats on your realizations.. it's a wonderful thing to be present for your own life... it's not like today happens twice!
