Finally!!!
It has been a while since I've posted here.
I finally have got through the court processes with my last DUI and was sentenced on Monday! Overall it turned out pretty good in my book. I am truly grateful for what I received and that the judge saw that my sobriety is number one in my life now and that nothing no matter what was coming between me and my sobriety now.
I know have over 7 months sober. I am thankful for treatment, A.A. the fellowship and my sponsor for showing me that there is a new life with sobriety. As the book says I've been given a second chance at life and I'm grateful for that.
With sobriety I've learned to love myself, others and to be more humble. Most of all I've learned that I have to give it away in order to keep it. I share my story all the time on where I was and where I am today and I love hearing when people come up to me and say "thank you" your story touched me in a lot of ways and I needed to hear what you said!
I've been dealing with alcoholism for 13 years now and finally I realize that I am an alcoholic and always will be. I am okay with that today because It has truly brought some great people into my life and has given me a whole new outlook on life! I know my program today is a program that can never be completed and that I will always need A.A. and the fellowship for the rest of my life.... but I feel that I owe A.A. my life because I know it saved mine.

Congrats on your 7 months dbj and also on the judge seeing how much you've embraced sobriety.
I also think your attitude of learning and growing from your difficulties is outstanding.
That's the "transferable skill" I took away from my past drinking also.
Life is what you make it, and the future is wide open
