SR has become an integral part of my recovery and living a sober life in AA, and a sane life in Alanon.
Your willingnes to help others is key for any type of recovery you choose!
This is a good post to end the day with....sober Fathers' Day tomorrow!

This place is wonderful.
It is clear from even just a few of your posts that you have a really great attitude which I think is really awesome. Keep that up and you'll do just fine with quitting.

Like a new man: the fog has lifted, I no longer wish to kill myself, I no longer hide my drinking, and I enjoy doing my hobbies and no longer fear I will lose my job by being hungover and sick from a day of slamming vodka after vodka.
Not easy but worth it.

Kudos to you on getting through a tough day, that's huge. I can understand, my family relations are actually estranged, but it still has an effect on me nonetheless. That's where this place has been a great to share issues, read and get great support for committing to sobriety through those times times, ....and happy times too. Hang in there!

I really appreciate you asking, felt good to get that off my chest.
Hope today goes well for you.

Hope today goes well for you.
I hope the same for you!My name is Brandon
