Thanks for posting this. I think it's a good visual tool.

I'm at or beyond the last entry on it (on the right hand side - not the left), but I should be because I have been in recovery for a good while now.

I would characterize my life as the sixth dimension of the spirit referred to in the Big Book.

Not a pink cloud, but a state of (almost) constant gratitude.

FWIW, when it comes to alcohol and drugs, I am not a smart guy at all.

Both the medical and law enforcement communities can substantiate that fact.

But I know where the answers are and I never stop searching for them.

Mostly at the last dot but still working on economic stability. My career and industry needed to be completely changed.

I love this visual!!! I was nearing into the last half on the left and sliding down(moments I never want to relive again EVER!!), and now at almost 9 months sober, I’m sliding back up again, but have a lot of work and recovery ahead of me still. Was really struggling these last few days and weeks, this visual gave me hope for the future!

Thanks for sharing! Never seen this, but interesting. The progress on the right side seems less orderly to me than the decline on the other.

I have never seen this before. I went through the entire curve twice only to relapse and start all over again. Right now, I am near the bottom.

Very interesting. I will keep referencing this. I am actually usually going back and forth along the curve. Impaired thinking, moral deteriation were present last binge. I compulsively lie when drunk to hide the fact I am literally just a drunk. I don't care. I never needed to lie when I wasn't alcoholic.....
