2 month sobriety mark and there is MAGIC!

Two months ago, I had the worst experience of my adult life. I was humiliated and demoralized, lost my job, and it was all because of Alcohol. There is no doubt about it, I am an Alcoholic. I picked myself up off the ground, and set about to make something look right in my life. I didnt know what to do, or even how to do it? Somehow, I was given strength to keep pushing on, even though burying myself seemed like the only solution. I had really lost myself in all of that mess. In fact, I really did not know who I was after that experience. I did the next best thing. Anything that came my way, I responded to it with an uncertainty and a small amount of hope. I enrolled into College, I started my own little business, I got a job, and then proceeded to get another better fitting job. I prayed, and prayed. I cried.
I knew after that experience that I would never return to the bottle. I had worn out my welcome. These past 2 months have given me the chance to see what I am truly made of. I never knew what I was capable of doing. I have taken my life into a place that is positive and worth living. I have had an amazing support system. My family, SR, and friends have encouraged me to reach for the stars, and so I did. I will continue to reach for the stars one day at a time. There is no reason to go back. I am worthy of so much more.
Thank you SR. Thank you God. Thank you Family. Thank you Mizzuno.

Although I've only been here around three months, I have followed your journey since joining SR. Since that time, you have amazed me, Mizzuno.

Congratulations.

Someone has given you a second chance. Thank them everyday and don't forget it. Breathe the fresh air and have you coffee or juice in the morning and enjoy it. Get busy living or get busy dying. Which movies that from? Love your post Kiss your husband and hug your friends and as Bob Marley said ....don't worry be happy. Hey 12 millions hits on YouTube

SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!!! Who doesnt love that movie? I am inspired by the whole thing. Well....Not the crawling through 2 miles of crap, but we got to do what we got to do. Its all symbolic when you think about it. We have to wade through the crap to get to the other side of FREEDOM! No?

Lets keep on rockin in the FREE world!!!

Was up Miz,
Glad you're back @ the helm & hope you hold on this time coz good judgment comes from experience & often experience comes from bad judgment
Best wishes
