sobermax

Hello everyone.

here I am in year 4 of sobriety, currently dealing with a bunch of life stuff that has suddenly been thrown mine & my wife´s way.

I´m posting because I realised that despite the trouble, I have in no way been at risk of picking up a drink. Not for a moment. It seems abundantly clear to me that what happens in my life has nothing whatsoever to do with alcohol. they are pages in different books.

Maybe being sober is finally becoming an unconscious habit. Before I get all complacent, I should add that I have a daily ´sobriety practice´and it has taken me most of my adult life to achieve this. fell off the wagon constantly for many years until it ´clicked´.

I will do anything to safeguard my sobriety because without it I will die from alcohol abuse leaving my little boy without his dad. Not gonna happen.

i hope this is helpful to someone.

Awesome, sobermax! I feel like that now too, two years into being sober. Now when problems crop up in life acknowledge the problem and deal with it instead of retreating into the bottle.

Thank you, Max. I was there for many years. Trying to get back there now. You did help me realize why I want this back so much.
