These are excerpts of a post, posted by an SR Member by the name of SavingSelf.
Who in Oct. celebrated a year of sobriety. AA and therapy are a part of their sobriety
plan. I asked them to post it in the club a few months ago and I am reposting it.
It is some good stuff!
Here were their thoughts....
Admitted I was an alcoholic. Not a problem drinker, not I had a problem, not I
need to stop drinking for awhile, not I have to just not drink hard liquor, not I can't
drink on an empty stomach, not I can only drink on the weekends, not I can
only drink at special occasions, not I can only drink while out socially.
I know I cannot drink today or ever again. I remind myself daily. I don't obsess
or lament about it. It just is. Just as I am a "5 ft 1" female, I am an alcoholic. And
that is ok. I am no worse, or better, than any other alcoholic.
I pay attention to my thoughts surrounding alcohol. I consider drinking alcohol
for me, a moral failure going forward.
Just as I would never try to harm another (or steal, cheat etc) I consider alcohol
harmful for me, and thus I cannot drink it.
Any thought that leads me towards drinking, I attribute to my addict voice and
dismiss and ignore as best and as quickly as I can.
I am a member of the no matter what club. No matter what happens, good or bad,
in life--I know that drinking another drop of alcohol will never make it better--
only worse.
It won't make me feel better, only worse. The guilt and the shame won't be better,
only worse. There is nothing good left in alcohol for me. The active part of my alcoholism
is done.
So today I won't drink. And I plan on making that same choice every day for the
rest of my life. One day at a time, gratefully.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a person who has accepted their addiction. Acceptance is half the battle.
Great job SavingSelf!

Thanks Deeker! 5:25 am MST here in SE Arizona. Tomorrow is the last day of 2013 and I will wake up to it sober. There is no moon up this morning and the star-filled desert sky is glorious. It is great to look at the sky and feel great!
