2015 The Progress continues
My dear friends of SR. I'm still alive and well, and still battling my alcohol addiction. But, my mind is getting stronger, and my priorities are better in place. My husband has been improving his outlook on life and things in general, and together we are becoming stronger. I have a friend at church that I clicked with immediately, and she is another mentor for me when it comes to my problem. She was hospitalized before she quit drinking. I will not allow myself to get to that point. She is over 2 years sober now and I'm blessed to have her in my corner.
So, I wanted to thank everyone in 2014 for being there for me when I cried out. This year, I hope the same wonderful people will continue to be there for me. I stopped making excuses last year, and accepted full responsibility for my poor decisions. I know this is my problem, and I have enough tools to make it work. I know what works for me and what doesn't. I just have to stick with it. I have to do this, but I also have to remember, this is a journey none of us are meant to take alone.
I hope and pray that all of you here that are struggling find success in 2015, no matter what your method of recovery is. I appreciate the continued wisdom and stories of those that continue to make progress and get days, months, and years behind them. I appreciate and respect the knowledge of those that have found their peace. And I know this is a freedom like none other.
I wish everyone the best. I may not be here every day, but I have other daily motivations to keep me going. I just wanted to reach out to all those that have made a difference in my life, and to let you know, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, and the bottle hasn't won....and I refuse to let it.
Love to you all!

Sober friends are stronger in numbers.
We never have to go thru or figure out
anything alone in life again by ourselves.
Walking side by side with ya for support,
care, understanding, communication without
judgement.
