90 days today-My Name is Candi
Hi, My name is Candi,
I'm a recovering alcoholic of 90 days. I have been through hell & back and still have some fight in me left! I'm so excited, I see a new aspect of me everyday-all the things I thought I'd never survive through I am doing it in sobriety. I work the AA program, have an excellent sponsor-who will kick my butt at times and who loves me unconditionally and teaching me to love myself. I've struggled with suicide and found in sobriety that I had to deal with my underlying mental issues that I am currently getting professional help for. My psychiatrist says that I'm doing all that I should in sobriety and even she smiles and gives me a hug! My psychiatrist, psychologist, sponsor, friends of AA and my spirituality has gotten me through sooo much-so many nights, so many tears, and all the good times as well! I find that if I want something, I will go after it and sobriety is mine! I've had to put that sobriety first and let go of things that were hindering me. I've even lost love over it-but I know good things will come to me and I don't have to settle for just anything in my life!! If I can do this heck, I can do anything! My sponsor even teaches me to sooth myself with meditation-I'd love to take some meditation classes.. I'd just like to say, NEVER GIVE UP and NEVER GIVE IN! I've had people that gave up on me, but that's ok I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON MYSELF... Peace/Love Friends!

Great job candi - it's so wonderful to be free of it. I wish I'd had the courage to let go long before I did. Congratulations on your hard-earned 90 days of sobriety! It'll keep getting better.
