hello everyone
hi.i'm a guy which had alcohol and cannabis addictions for 20 years. i stop all that since i did a 5 months therapy(dec 2004-may 2005). it was hard, i felt excluded by my ex-girlfriend which told me she wanted to continu to live with me but cheated with one of my supposed"buddy" 3 days after my admission, and completely cut contact with me then. we have 2 wonderful children. i passed through my therapy and i can swear that my experience of sobriety is one of suffering, not a pink cloud. i decided to stay sober day by day, kick my ass every day and be productive, honest. i'm a social worker in the field of mental health, let me tell you i'm not above facing problems myself(i volunteered 5 years in an addictive therapy center too...i was aware). now i'm studying to reach a master degree in public administration. i don't date another woman for the moment, i'm taking care of my daughter(9),my son(7), and myself. i need to help myself everyday, continu my therapy to stay sober. what is helping me is to remember where i come from and not return. i know i'm a good person, able to love and be loved. thanks for your readind.

Sylvest-
Congrads on your sober time. Welcome to SR. You are a good person, and you are doing the right thing for you and your children. I hope you will stick around SR, and continue to grow in sobriety. You've been sober longer than I have, and your story is inspirational to me. I'm an alcoholic who recently kicked a daily pot habit. I quit drinking in sept 05 and I quit pot 16 days ago.
Keep on going. You've helped me stay sober today.

hey sylvest! Your story really touched me, and really helped me touch base and take a close look at my progress. I hope you realize how much your story could help others, and I hope you continue to share! My prayers are with you!
