Who knew sobriety could be so awesome?????!!!!!
Congrats everyone! My name's on the list but I am on day 4.
Rock on, Milestoners.
You are simply amazing.
You are simply amazing.
Examine what went wrong - the mindset and situation that led to the slip; shore up the holes in your plan and move forward. There is no other good choice for us; sobriety is the only way to a better way.
So glad that you came right back.
We are here for you; lean on us.

A GIFT THAT GROWS WITH TIME
For most normal folks, drinking means conviviality, companionship and colorful imagination. It means release from care, boredom and worry. It is joyous intimacy with friends and a feeling that life is good.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 151
The longer I chased these elusive feelings with alcohol, the more out of reach they were. However, by applying this passage to my sobriety, I found that it described the magnificent new life made available to me by the A.A. program. "It" truly does "get better" one day at a time. The warmth, the love and the joy so simply expressed in these words grow in breadth and depth each time I read it. Sobriety is a gift that grows with time.
24mmore for this alcoholic that's grateful now, let's keep going.

The most important thing right now is your sobriety, Neo. The people you hang with need to be able to lift you up not down. Try hanging with like minded people who are sober. Hopefully your friend will get the help he needs, too. That is up to him though. You can forgive but find new friends who share the same values you are trying to cultivate.
