Lovin' my sobriety
I'm done being an addict.
I've been sober for 3 months 29 days, and counting. One day at a time. Praying for all those who still struggle, and praising all those who have come to the understanding that I have; happiness is a state of mind, not being. That addiction was a symptom of my self discontent.

Why didn't I do this sooner
Thanks for all the welcomes.
Just the few moments I have spent reviewing the posts that I hear, I am inspired both in the success and in the very stark mirrors reflecting back at me all the things I have struggled with and the long road left ahead of me to truly reach a state of centered inner peace.
I just don't know why I did not get here 10 years ago. I have quit so many times before and fallen back, but now that I am working a program, going to meetings, have a sponsor and spending time with like minded fellows it feels different.
I know I have a long way to go, but I'm really lovin' my sobriety and I hope (I'm going to work very hard) to stay here in this place that I am. I have found a level of peace and serenity I have never felt before. I finally get it, this whole time I have been the problem. I kept blaming life and those around me, when the whole time it was me.
