Peace

For the first time in years, this weekend I felt a wonderful peace about my life. Despite all the term-oil around me, I am not letting it drag me down in despair. I truly want the peace I felt yesterday and last night. I know that alcohol will never allow that. I have but one life to live and I want to make it count. I am thankful today for my sobriety. I am thankful that I have love around me. Today is "officially" my two months. Instead of getting my 2 month chip, my brother asked me to go to the doctor with him today. He wanted a clear sober person with medical knowledge to ask questions. It made me happy when he said "clear and sober". I was so proud. I felt like I wanted to wear my sobriety like a badge of courage. I am happy I can be there for him sober. This weekend has been filled with a lot of epiphany's. I know it is not always going to be easy, but life never is. I like a good challenge. Thanks for reading. Peace and blessings to all today

Congratulations on 2 months lpangel!

Once in awhile I get those moments of peace. They are brief, but I assume that is how the future feels.

That's wonderful to hear. It's amazing how we drink to make ourselves feel happier & more relaxed, but we get just the opposite. Now you're finding real peace & tranquility - & it'll keep getting better. Two months is fantastic!

We not only help others so we can stay sober. We sometimes help others because we are sober.

It IS a proud moment when we can be there for others we care about. Congrats on your 2 months!
