Like a lot of other people I知 not feeling like I知 on top of the world but my resolve to maintain my sobriety is strong. Most importantly, the things I知 doing to stay sober do not
feel like burdens. I enjoy AA meetings and the people in AA. I like participating on the SR boards. I like living without substances and practicing the skills of life I learn here and in AA. I知 proud of myself and I hope to continue on this path indefinitely. I have faith that my future is better if I don稚 drink. I am not suffering to the same degree the anxiety of my first couple weeks of sobriety. I do struggle with cravings at times but I have not succumbed. That痴 all I have. Happy Friday!

Sounds good! I know you have kiddos too who are looking up to you.

me too man. Last night I talked with all three of them at different times. Great conversations with lots of genuine laughter and smiles. I was drunk on happiness-nothing else. There was a difference.

good good stuff.

on day 25 here!

have a great weekend. Waking up sober is awesome.

Awesome to hear BABM! AA is a wonderful design for living. Personally, I couldn't have gotten sober without it. I'm glad you found your path and are staying on it. So happy for you and your kids
