Checking in... Recovered and happy :)
Hey everybody.
First time I've logged into this site for a LONG time. My recovery has continued to go from strength to strength. It really is fantastic to be recovered. I have waited until I achieved everything that I knew I need to in-order to say with confidence that I am totally recovered. I have been recovered from alcoholism since just after I last posted on SR - it was the best thing that happened to me and I got some help from stuff that was still bugging me.
I can't explain to all you newcomers how totally worth it staying sober and getting recovered truly is - I haven't counted days, months or anything like that since I last was on here - it just is what it is and my recovery has been much like that explained in the promises within AA's Big book. It truly is priceless and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
The last 15 months I have been gigging loads with my band and we've achieved a great deal. I'm more passionate and in love with playing, creating and listening to music then I ever was back in my active alcoholic days. I have been to parties, weddings, bars, pubs, gigs etc and for me there is nothing there in relation to alcohol and hasn't been since I was last on SR and the years preceding here on SR - it truly is wonderful. I'm in a position of neutrality in regards alcohol.
I have a great girlfriend and my social circle is wide, University has gone great and I'll be heading into my final year shortly. I've been able to use my own experiences within my degree and tailor my research and dissertation towards it, which is fantastic.
Yeah, so I just wanted to drop by to SR to share my story where I'm currently at. I haven't been to an AA meeting for about a year now, I am recovered and carry all of the tools and wisdom with me day to day - I still read the BB from time to time and I talk about my recovery to people who are interested and close to me - I aim to go into a career helping other's within the field of alcohol and drug addiction, that's if I'm not a rock star
So yeah SR, I am genuinely content, at peace and happy, thanks to being recovered from alcoholism and also addressing and confronting issues that I knew I drank over - you know what? They really weren't that big a deal or scary!! Ha-ha... I suppose us alkies are great at making a molehill into a mountain eh? Ha-ha.
Thanks for being here for me in my recovery over the past few years SR and to all the wonderful people who I shared my journey with - this place helped me so, so, soooooo much - I am forever grateful.
Always an alcoholic but recovered from alcoholism... Enjoying living life at peace...
