tomorrow is finally here again
 
I finally had had enough again. Back on 9/30/2004 was the date I joined AA. made it around 14 months sober if my memory serves me right (which it probably doesn't). then decided I could drink like a normal person again, and chose to hide my addiction from a gal I was seeing and thus started the mostly blurry last 9 years of my life. got my AA book back out this morning and found my blatant errors. my last wife (now ex) begged me to get help with the problem I chose not to acknowledge for way too long. couldn't sleep so I thought I would get on here and put a couple thoughts out on my first post. I would think to myself tomorrow I will quit. tomorrow has arrived. just kind of sad it took so many years and the pain I know I've caused again never had to happen. oh how hindsight is always 20/20. seems like it's going to be a sleepless night. used to be I would just pass out. today is a new beginning. the next chapter of my life.

Welcome Chuck!

In my early days, I too felt a lot of regret and shame about my years in active alcoholism. But I'm now realizing that although we can't change the past, we can change the present and the future. Focus on what you can look forward to and what you can achieve now you've made the excellent decision to be sober. No more tommorrows. Today is the day!
