By the grace of god
So I always heard people say "By the grace Of god I am sober" and I always kind of made fun of them because I though that was stupid. I have been sober for a little over a month and since then I disconnected myself with everyone I know who could get me drugs or who didn't support me in my recovery including long term boyfriend. But this past weekend I ran into three guys who were drunk and threatening me. When I found cocaine in one of their pockets I took it and ran. When I got home I cut it into three lines bent down to snort it, thinking "I've needed this so bad" and then I stopped, I walked away and I have no explanation except for God. I finally understand. By the grace of God I AM sober.

I'm glad that you didn't go through with it.
It's odd how it happens isn't it? For all the pain, strife, and horrific events that have occurred for some of us it just takes a moment of clarity when you say "enough is enough" and you really mean it. I think of the horrendous events that happened when I was drinking that made me vow that I would never touch another drop. The day it actually happened and stuck was one nondescript moment in the morning in my kitchen. A fight with my husband the night before that was nothing out of the ordinary. I was just sick of it ruling me.
I figure it had be some divine intervention because I certainly would never have believed that I would get this far.

Yeah thats actually exactly how it feels. enough is enough. Ive been through so much things and I kinda got to a point where I said it was normal and that drugs would be my only option. But they are not.
