Update on Aristo

Hi Folks,

I haven't been on here for ages - but thought I would give you an update. SR played an important part in my early early days.

I've now been sober for 20 months. Life gets better and better.

I have a good job, good car, nice house etc

I am in a healthy, loving relationship, yes with a woman ! ( i never thought that would happen)

I have untangled my relationship with my immediate family (mum, Dad , Sis) but we still catch up etc - it's all good.

I do a meeting a day still

I do service

I belong to a group

I go to all the AA functions and rallies I can

I have a beautiful, wonderful man as my sponsor

I gave up doing it my way - it is just way too hard - resistance is futile.

I am on my Step 9 after doing a very thorough 1-8

I listened to the OSMs and took their advice even when I thought it was BS

I am in contact with another alkie at least once a day

So life is great - I can't believe it

The promises are true - something I thought was a fairy tail and could never happen to me

thanks for being here !

Aristo

I don't have to know you to be happy for you. I've only been sober 3 months but am already feeling like a new person! I'm glad your life is getting better and is more fun now.

Wow!

A whole list of positive aspects of sobriety! Truly a motivation to stay sober one more day.

Thank you for sharing!
