I'm gr8fl2aa
I'm sitting in my basement, googled sobriety forums and here I am.
Raised in Columbia, MO - a college town. Learn to party there. My parents divorced in the mid seventies and I went on a binge of sorts that lasted until the late 90's.
I was a teenager when they split up, and I found myself with far too much time on my hands. The kids I ran with had older brothers and sisters, and I was quickly involved with it all.
Long story short, I was doing well at work, many companies like workaholics and that was another part of the game. As it happens, there is a line and I finally crossed it.
Luckily it happened when it needed to happen - I had prayed, a deep prayer from way in my soul, a prayer than I had never prayed before - I needed help, I knew I was doomed.
My prayer was not answered the next day, not the next week, but it was answered, and now in a manner than I would of prefered - we always want that easier, softer way.
When it happened, a feeling came over me, I knew my higher power was in charge, and I turned it over, best I could at the time.
Outpatient counseling came, it lead to AA, and I've had more sober 24's than I ever thought possible.
It's not been easy, and that's probably all I've got right now.
I glad to be here, glad to be sober, and with that, I'd like to pass.
