With truth came freedom
With truth came freedom
For myself, I felt a genuine sense of liberation when I admitted to myself on July 3rd 2012 that I had a drinking problem.
My first sober day was July 4.
I felt an even greater sense of liberation when this week, I admitted to myself and my Doctor that I am an addict in recovery.
I don't feel sorry for myself, nor ashamed.
I'm leaving the shame with the active addict of the past and moving forward with pride in recovery.
I'm sober, vigilant and free.
That freedom will only keep if I abstain from alcohol for the rest of my life.
That is my only option and I'm grateful for it.
