Hi, Octsobermates!
I am from class October 2012 and on October 14 it will be 4 years since my last drink.
I celebrate this date with the same enthusiasm as I do on my real Birthday. Actually, I believe, I am more excite about this milestone the my birth date.
Because the older I get, it's less fun counting time since I was introduced to this world. Hopes diminish, and regrets and bitterness of that "life doesn't go the way it should" pile up.
My Sober Birthday, on the other hand, shows me how much I've achieved within just 4 years. How many fears I faced - fears that terrified me so much that even thinking about making one step closer to their source made me literally sick.
How many obstacles I overcame - obstacles which seemed unsurmountable.
How many things shifted from the category of "impossible" to "possible" and even "no big deal".
And what is most important - how much I've came to know about my real self. How many layers of conventional BS have been peeled off - sometimes with pieced of my own "emotional skin". Yes, sometimes it hurts. Like hell. But it heals.
How I've learned to see every challenge and ordeal as another chance to uncover the core of me which will never be shattered - doesn't matter what.
And it all started with one "small" action - I quit alcohol.
I logged in SR, jumped on the forum right ahead, and never looked back.
It wasn't easy.
But i can't stress enough HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH IT!
Never give up! Urges and cravings will never kill you. They will pass. Drinking have all the chances to end you journey on this planet earlier than you wished though.
And I can't thank SR enough.
In many of my posts to newcomers I use this term "lifeline" when applied to SR.
And it truly was. And it still is. Because the Line of Life is broad and ever changing, and embraces more than just abstaining from a drink.
First SR helped me not to drink. Then to grow emotionally and respect myself. And so so so much more!
I welcome all the newcomers and those who are back here!
Make October your Sober Birthday!
It's a magical magnificent month. With nature changing colors every day With the first breath of winter. With pumpkins and fun. Sober fun. And sober life is so much of a fun! Fun of higher quality, fun that is not bought in a bottle, but found in intangibles around and within you.
I wish you a great October and best luck on your Sober journey!
Sincerely yours.
