Made a decison
I took my last drink three years ago today.
That night before I went to sleep (passed out) I made a decision - I would go seek help. I had hurt others long enough with my selfish behavior and self centered, ego charred crash and burn existence.
I made a decision to toss out what little booze was still around and to make every attempt to change. I wept like a child and was full of self pity - poor me, poor me, pour me another drink..........I made a decision I never, ever wanted to feel this way again.
I awoke (regained consciousness) and went to a meeting, picking up a desire chip. I made a decision to go to another meeting that night and another the next day.
Shortly after I found you lovely people on this forum. You accepted me, supported me and suffered my egotistical sharing. I made a decision I needed to reach out in person and online. Both have helped saved my life.
Kindly, humbly I thank each of you.
If I have offended you over these last few years, I am sorry and can't promise it won't happen again - but I've made a decision, to keep trying to stay off a collision path with my fellow man as best as I can.
I made a decision, was willing and took action. I am nothing special, just an old drunk. If I can stop drinking, anyone can. I just needed a new pair of glasses........

Congratulations, Fly N Buy.
Your reflections on sobriety were moving. That comes as no surprise as the last three years have shown us you are thoughtful and humble.
You are a dependable advocate for all who come here. I'm glad to be on this path with you.
Thank you.
