Sunday

Hi Everyone. Today is day 3 for me and it's nice to have made this decision. It's sad how alcohol creates all these small wedges in our life and relationships. Overtime those wedges seem to serve the purpose of isolating us. I remember being sober with lots of time and remember how freeing that felt. In my last post I characterized alcohol as feeling freeing. Thank you all for correcting me. This addiction is tricky. We feel something with that buzz that we have comfort in. Once we open the doors of that option it becomes increasingly more difficult to choose wisely. Finally, that option becomes a guise for the inevitable. Somewhere in that course we make decisions to protect ourselves from losing that insipid pseudo-comfort. I have started to see this in my life again and this is the reason why I am back. Thank you all for being there for me the first time. Thank you all for being here for each other and for me, once again.

As time goes on you will see more and more of how alcohol had its dirty little fingers in all aspects of your life.

One of the gifts of sobriety is to be free of the clutches of alcohol.

Stay sober today and it will be a good day
