KCKMAN thank you for your reply I have a ways to go but I am ready for the fight. I will beat this demon inside me one way or another, but not w/o all of your help. Looking forward to many more sober days and nights.

I don't miss the opiates all that much though, ironically enough, but I DO miss the booze sometimes. But the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives!
A year without drinking? WONDERFUL! I hadn't realized the damage I was doing to my body until I went to treatment and started UNdoing it. My pulse and blood pressure dropped. My extremities quit swelling up. I saved money. I saved time. I saved headaches, literally. I made sober friends and had fun sober. With the Steps, I have gained serenity and acceptance, a peace of mind I NEVER expected possible!
Have you tried AA yet, saac? None of this would be possible without a fellowship and the Steps, for me at least. I highly suggest you give it a go. What have you got to lose? A lot of pain and heartache, that's what!
Peace, love, and hugs,
Eddie

Alcohol or drugs.It's all the same.A wall we build with substances to seperate us from the real world and the people who care about us.Tear down the wall and put up a hammock.Or at least a recliner.

Good morning everyone I have 9 days. I can't belive it and I can all at the same time. I get to spend a week with my daughter. I get to wake up feeling good and not unh. I am not in a cloud anymore I have never seen so clear. I have a meeting tonight that I look forward to going to. I still have not told my daughter I quite drinking or that I joined aa. I don't want to see that look in her face of dissapointment that she just knows I won't do it. I will tell you guys one thing this is the best party I have ever gone to. PARTY ON
