I have survived the last 2 weeks and stayed sober during all the trials and tribulations. That makes me happy! I finally get to sleep in tomorrow but then I will make it a very productive day. It has been over a month since I had a day off.

So, you better sign me up for another 24 hours, I have a lot to do still! Hope you are all well and taking good care of yourselves.

Swearing off the grog, one day at a time, helps me avoid too many long term speculations and analysis paralysis.......what a good idea!

I have asked ChrissieB to share her story, she has been coming into the 24 hour club
for some time now and always has such a positive attitude. I think her story will
touch your heart. ChrissieB is from Ireland, hence the Ireland theme and she celebrates
6 months on 4/13. Yay ChrissieB!


Take it away ChrissieB...

Hi My name is Christine

I come from a large Irish family of 10 children, 8 girls, 2 boys. I am number 6. Neither of my
parents drank.

My Dad was violent for many years to my Mum which I hated as I couldn't protect her. I vowed
that no man would ever hit me... Little did I know I would marry two violent men.

I had always wanted a large family but unfortunately never got pregnant during my 6 year
marriage. My husband who was an alcoholic and a gambler had an affair with a girl at his
work around this time and left me. I was thirty and felt my life was over.

My husband's girlfriend got pregnant almost immediately, I felt like the baby was half mine!!
I dreamdt for years that he would come back and bring the baby with him - as if!!!

With regard to my drinking I had tried a couple of Babycham at 17 and was violently sick so it
didn't quite take off at that time.

When my marriage ended I was 30 and thought my life had ended as well.

I met an older man who introduced me to wine and I loved it, usually drinking on weekends then
mid week, (it helped me to forget "my sorrow") and then progressed to daily drinking.

Throughout this time I was successful in my career as a sales consultant and I won many holidays
abroad.

On these trips everything was paid for and I would overindulge! Usually any holiday I had after
that was always all inclusive where I would allow myself to drink 1st thing in the morning
which is something I always wanted to do but would not do at home as I knew that was the
road to "no town".

Moving forward a few years, I met my second husband who told me he would get me pregnant
the 1st night we met, as of course I gave him my sad story.

Well he did get me pregnant and I was ecstatic and fell in love with this baby! I didn't stop
drinking during the pregnancy which I am ashamed of. I don't know if that is why I had a
miscarriage but it certainly couldn't have helped.

That was it, I no longer believed in God and my drinking took off. I was still successful
and ended up buying a lot of properties.

Outwardly I looked successful but inside I was dying and I knew alcohol had me in it's grasp,
I was no longer in control and I could not stop, no matter how often I tried or how much
I wanted to...

I would always return to it, to help me cope and feel better.

I had researched AA and finally got myself to a group, l found peace in the rooms and I would
stop drinking but soon after I would feel I had the problem conquered and I would go out
again!

I would try to drink properly but of course I couldn't.

I am not an alcoholic because I drink! I drink because I am an alcoholic and I am powerless over
alcohol.

This happened at least four times. I came back to AA & Sober Recovery in October 2013 and on
the 13th of April I will be 6 months sober.

The difference I believe this time was getting a sponsor and going through the programme.
Before agreeing to be my sponsor she asked me if I was prepared to go to any length? Would
I be rigorously honest? Also would I in turn help another alcoholic?

I said yes to each one. The difference in my life is amazing I have a power in my life whom
I choose to call God. I go to AA meetings at least 3 times a week.

I come onto sober recovery every day and commit to staying sober for just 24 hours. It works!!!

I have a lovely partner whom I met 4 years ago who has has given up drinking in support of
me and life has never been better!

I also have a parrot and a lovely puppy.

Wishing everyone peace, happiness and sobriety.

Christine x

Thank You So Much ChrissieB!!
