Not Just Surviving, Living
Day 20, it feels good to feel alive! When I drank I thought of it as my friend to help me survive my life. To escape the dark feelings in my heart.
Little did I know that alcohol was killing me & causing my dark feelings.
Now that I'm sober, I realize alcohol was my enemy & life is my friend.
I don't feel like I'm drowning anymore. I'm living life, loving life & enjoying it.
It has not been easy but way easier than battling the bottle everyday.
To the newcomers, there is hope, there are blue skies, there is recovery. Only you can choose life.
I had to accept what I am, alcoholic, always will be. But I don't have to live drunk. I've been back & forth, relapsing, living in addiction for 5 yrs & finally had enough.
Thank God, he kept me alive. And guided me to SR. My willpower, faith, prayers weren't enough.
The thought of never drinking again scared me to death. How could I function? Well guess what? I can function. A WHOLE lot better sober!
Now I know I can never drink again & i don't care, life is so much more beautiful w/ out the poison rotting my soul.
Good luck to all starting out, it gets better. Just don't give up. Failure isn't falling down again & again, it's when you stay down. Keep fighting!

your right sobriety isn't just surviving, it "LIVING." Thanks for the thread.
