On the right path I think
So since my last thread over a week ago a lot has taken place. I decided not to go back to IOP but instead work this program called AA. I now have a sponsor. He graduated from IOP about 3 weeks into me going. His thing wasn't alcohol it was ambien, but addiction is addiction right? He has worked all the steps and has been over 6 months sober. He was happy to take me on when I asked him to sponsor me. I've been reading the big book and I have been feeling great. I look forward to going to AA. I know it's early but this feels different than when I entered out patient for the first time. Back then I was still angry and annoyed about doing it. Right now I want to do it. I'm glad I'm sober as apposed to being pissed that I was. Dry drunk syndrome at its finest beat me the first go round. My life has already started to improve is this short time.
Things are looking up!

I think that'll make all the difference. One's motivation to get and stay sober is key.

Very true. I feel like I can actually breathe and not feel uptight about everything. I was mad at the world, but since I've started AA I've had a release it feels like. I just seem to care more about the right things and care less about things I can't control.

Great to hear that you are enjoying AA.
