You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Today I feel pain as well as joy. That's the price I have to pay for the privilege to live! 18 months ago, I wound up in a jail cell, on a concrete floor detoxing, where I had been so many times before.I had truly stopped living. If I can do this, so can You!

Hi Bri, welcome! Tremendous support network here. I am right behind you with almost 16 months sober. I "lurked" on this site until finally joining in November. I'm sure you will find it as inspirational as I have.

How I did it..

I just want to thank everyone for such a warm welcome..That means a lot!! As far as how I achieved 18 months clean and sober, I will try to do that in several posts. Just ask me,and I will tell you what I know. There has been a great amount of tragedy, and personal loss in My life due to poor choices, associations, and in some cases just not knowing any better. Other than My childhood, I never knew how to live without a crutch..Most recently In 2014, I survived a motorcycle accident while loaded that I don't remember having. That's a third felony, drunk driving conviction..!"One year jail time,with three years suspended prison term,and five years felony probation..
living in the consequences of my actions, I have chosen to learn from them this time..I am so fortunate!
