Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found it
necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely
grateful.

That's all you need for today
is the desire to not drink. For
me i desperately wanted to
stop drinking and i couldnt....

On my own that is.....my will
power just didnt work....no
matter how hard i tried....i
would swear and promise never
again.......

When my family stepped in an
did an intervention on me....they
did for me what i couldnt do for
myself.....for the im grateful.

After a horrible accident in Feb.
90 and healing quite well....i
thought it was safe to drink
successfully again.....however
the result was much different....
almost deadly....almost a permanant
solution to a temporary problem....

In Aug 90...only a few short months
later, i tried to end my miserable
life......once again i was power-
less.....

Today it still stuns me to see how
quickly the progression of my
disease really was.....

I spent 28 days in rehab reciev-
ing the tools and knowledge
of my disease.....to learn to
stay sober just one day at
a time with the help and
support of our awesome
program and the 12 steps
to guide me......

It was suggested to myself
as well as others that 90
meetings in 90 days was a
good start with ur recovery
and if u didnt hear anything
that made sense during that
time then they would gladly
refund my misery......

I soon realized that nothing
and i mean nothing was that
bad in life to cause me to return
to the misery i once had for
so long.....

To finally get off that horrible
merry go round of drinking, stop-
ping....drinking.....stopping....
getting sick.....hurting....just
plain and simple miserable.....YUK..!

Today i still have lifes everyday
problems, but i have a support
system to rely on to help me
to where i am not alone....

A faith in a Power greater than
i to guide me ans stregthen me
along my recovery journey.....

And all i did was take each day
as it comes.....not yesterday
because that day is gone
forever...and not tomorrow because
it isnt here yet......but just
for today.....

As long as i make a meeting....
work my 12 step provided to us,
share my own experiences,
strengths and hopes with others
and having faith then im guaranteed
one more day sober.....

Now how awesome is that.....


just one day at a time....plain and simple.

And thats how it works for me.

Thanks for letting me share.

Mr H

thanks for your great words
As fart as what i did and what id do differently, I tried to just have a couple of drinks one night last week, just wanted to be able to like everyone else. Thought i could have some drinks then wake up the next morning and get on with life.
That was a week ago and im just coming round now....guess Im dumber than i look lol
Well it's back on with the fight and no more lying to myself

Welcome back, Mr. H - seems you learned an important lesson and are willing to go forward with that knowledge at hand. Good for you! Hope you are feeling better soon. Keep at it! J

I'm glad you lived to try again.
Unchecked alcoholism is progressive uncurable and fatal.

Many of us had false starts before we actually quit.
What is your new plan?

Mr H

Not sure at the moment, i need to put some days between myself and drinking before i can think about that, just going to deal with the day to day till this drying out black cloud leaves me.
Been through alot over the last two years, i need a breather.
