It feels like just the other day when I came back on this site and talked about my last run that resulted with me being in detox for a few days. There has been some life changing things that have happened since the last time I drank, but I'd prefer to focus on the positive. I've been attending meetings and today my wife even came along with me. I'm working with my sponsor, and currently on step 8 which is making a list so I can begin my amends. I'm told this is one of the toughest steps and will probably be the longest once I get to doing it. I've never been the most positive person about things in life, and I know I'm still working on myself to become more optimistic as I don't want to go through life being miserable anymore. I've done a lot of regrettable things in my life, and each day that goes by it does get a little easier. I want to be here for my kids, my wife and myself as well. I have 17 days of this alcohol monitor on my foot. It has been a great deterrent, but most of all as I go through the process of my growth and understanding it's shown me that I can live this life of mine sober. I've been told all kinds of ways to beat the system. I'd only think about trying it if I truly still wanted to drink.

I'm happy to be sober. I plan on staying that way, but I'm taking it one day at a time. I currently have the attitude of gratitude.

Fantastic work getright15. Step 8 is ongoing.... we're all making amends as we go through life, and it's a good thing.

Very true. I already feel lighter on a whole from the steps previous. I'm coming around. No way I deserve this many chances to remain sober without losing everything. I'm thankful.
