How does it all work.
Not sure how making me care for people I don't know or perhaps wouldn't want to know outside of here works , but it has made me fight for them in my mind almost ,if not more than I have for myself in the past but it has transformed my view of my future.
I'm sober for just under a month the longest I haven't drunk since I was 18.
In that time I've made a real mess of many things and all due to me and drink.
I have managed through incredible luck or something to get married to an amazing woman enjoyed life for a few years almost sober which increased to often drunk but not falling apart had three children together all of whom I would lay down my life for, but didn't stop drinking even though I would have loved to.
Due to health reasons I found here ,after changing my drinking over a few months but failing to quit.
I found myself here at a dark time and people answered my call and it made it almost easy. Well apart from the anxiety tears and abdo pain etc etc
There are many I want to thank individually and I shall.
TO ALL THANKS FOR THE HOPE AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

I'm not sure how it works either, but I'm SO grateful! Maybe it's because it reduces the burden of guilt and shame we've carried around so long - just to be honest and understood makes it easier to accept ourselves instead of wanting desperately to escape.
What helped me, too, was seeing others recover and say "Hey, come on in, the water's fine!"
