I tried for 3 months to get sober and couldnt stay sober my highest milestone in that time was 18 days

One saturday morning i woke up and just knew i had to stay sober it was litrelly life or death i chose life that day & ive chosen life ever since even in my darkest hours in these 18 months i always chose life

to stay sober it was a mixture of AA, Group therapy w/alcoholics & drug addicts, Volenteering at my local hospital/Service with AA, Seeing a alcohol addiction team organised by my local hospital constantly reaching out to my sponser (who i still am brothers with today altho im no longer with aa) reading literature, meditating, going the extra mile each & every time, exercise, i completed 2 college courses, decorating the house (getting nearer to the finish) and reaching out to my dear friends here

I know what could & would happen if i drink and it aint worth thinking about its that knowledge of knowing it dont get better it only gets worse if we drink i had to figure out a way to live life being me and to be me i can only do that sober
