One Year Ago, Today......
One year ago, today, I was physically, emotionally, and spiritually sick. I had lost all hope. I thought I was a horrible person who could never amount to anything. One year ago, today, I finally surrendered. I gave up fighting drugs and alcohol. I admitted that I was powerless. Since that day, I have remained abstinent from alcohol and all other mood-altering substances. I never thought it was possible.
I want to thank all of you here at SR who have become a part of my recovery family. There have been many times over the past year when I couldn't get to a meeting, or just needed a reminder of how insidious this disease can be, and you have been here.
For all newcomers, PLEASE don't give up. Life can be so much better without the constant fight with booze/drugs. It is a tough ride, but if you hang on tight, and ask for help, you can do it too.
Love and hugs to all--

Thank you all!!!!! I had such a wonderful day. My daughter was out of school for President's Day, so I took the day off. I slept in until about 7:30am (pretty good for a sober Mom!). Got up, puttered around the house, came here to post my good news, did a little cleaning, and got ready to go to a noon meeting. I got to the meeting and ALOT of people knew it was my birthday. I didn't expect that. I got my one year chip, and then went to lunch at a new Cajun place in town with some girl friends. They are not in the program. In fact, they knew me well as a hopeless and embarassing drunk. They were wonderful and it was so good to spend some quality, sober time with them. After that, I came home and took a little nap, then got up and got ready to go to the meeting at the center where I went to treatment. I had the priviledge of telling my story there. It was perfect. Such a fitting thing for me to get to do on this very special day. They had a cake for me, and my sponsor was there. I came home, spent a little quality time with Q, and am now getting ready for bed. What a freakin' miracle. A whole freakin' year....... Wow.
Love you guys--
Love you guys--
SO HAPPY FOR YOU LAURA.
