Today Marks 9 Months
By the Grace of God I have managed to keep a drink away from my lips for 9 months. I woke up this morning and hit my knees (as I always do) and cried silent tears of gratitude. I really don't know how I managed to stay sober for 9 months. It's nothing short of a miracle. 9 months ago I was rushed to the ER in hypertensive crisis as a result from my alcoholism...blood was pouring out of my nose and I was bleeding vaginally and rectally as well as vomiting blood. I was dying, alone on my couch, of alcoholism...at 33 years old.
Today I have no lasting damage to my body from my drinking. Another miracle. I get up every morning and hit my knees and ask God to keep me safe and sober...and to direct my thinking towards what we would have me do and who he would have me be. I work. I have a little apartment. I have my program of AA, my sponsor, and my friends in recovery. I've cultivated a life worth living - without alcohol. At night, again I hit my knees, and thank God for all he has given me.
I am grateful for all of you - for sharing this journey with me!
