One week.

So last sunday night, I was S@#t faced in my room doing a whole lot of nothing, dreading the morning. This Sunday I'm coming home from my 5th meeting this week, beaming from cheek to cheek from the amazing meeting and conversations I had after. A familiar face noticed a new determination in me. I drove home over the moon, with whats to come provided I do the work.

I finally believe the promises of a life I can't imagine, as long as I honestly follow the steps, and do what the people at the meetings say.

I am nervous, I am excited, and my determination (which usually waivers once I start feeling better) has not lost any momentum and I realize this is a real chance to make it stick.

I don't know what I'm doing, but I do know I have the guidance of willing people to teach me how the reached sobriety, and gained a truly happy and fulfilling life.

I believe a better life is possible if you work for it.

Good for you Ekohe! Attending meetings means gaining wisdom which means having tools to fight the poison you are leaving behind. One day at a time and keep going back (meetings) because it works if ya work it!

Thank you everyone, I had up to this point never really gave it a chance, and a few years ago didn't think very highly of it. That has 180'd and how naive I was.

It's been a good day today. How's everyone's day??
