Three Years for Coffeenut!
 
Three years ago I couldn’t put mascara on without smudging my swollen eyelids. I couldn’t wait for 5:00 so I could start drinking, so I was starting earlier and earlier. I shook. I was anxious. We won’t even discuss bowel problems. My hair was falling out. Everything was everyone else’s fault. I keep remembering the ass I made of myself at a family wedding. Chaos of my own making.

In the last three years, I’ve finally decided to work on the problem, rather than drink it into oblivion. I’ve discovered I LIKE being sober. I’m willing to devote the rest of my life to change and growth. And I like it!

I draw such great strength from SR. I seriously would not be sober without this place. My deepest thanks to each of you.

My words are for the newbies. You can get sober. You can stay sober. I drank for 30 years. Daily. You can turn your life around. Let SR help.

WhoooooooooooHooooooooo! Sobriety Rocks!
