24 Hours In
 

This is my first post ever on Sober Recovery though this isn't my first attempt at sobriety. I've been an alcoholic since middle school,at least, that's when I had my first drink.

As I mentioned this isn't my first rodeo. I have previously been sober for about 5 or six months a year ago but can't seem to break that threshold. I am a vodka drinker (pint to pint and a half daily) and have gone from being a functional alcoholic to full blown " not give a crap" alcoholic.

I am making every attempt possible to get sober and recover. I have had quite a few attempts at sobriety and have finally, today, got my first sponsor at AA. I am looking at this as a new opportunity because of the fact that I am fully committed to working the steps and becoming a part of the sober community. My life and my family depend on it. I got pretty close to loosing both because of alcoholism.

Anyway, I am suffering from insomnia once again and figured I ought to make my self useful by posting something. I am humbled and happy to be a part of this community and am looking forward to getting through the withdrawals and getting some good rest. Did I mention that withdrawals really suck!! God bless you all and I look forward to sharing my recovery with you all. As always your support is always helpful!

First post with many more to come....

The withdrawals will pass - you know that as you have been though it. Hang in there. Baby steps and take it one day at a time. All the best.
