When I first came to sobrerecovery...
It was May 2012 I had been sober for a couple weeks after being drunk on and off since that xmas gone. I was still at work and was fairly confident I would stay sober. I chatted with some great people on soberrecovery and was feeling confident that with good diet and exercise I would be ok. I had no idea how fragile I was. The next weekend I met with a friend in London to have a few beers believing I could limit myself. I got home drunk that night and started to sober up sunday morning. I was thinking about an old girldfiend and by lunchtime had started drinking again to stop from feeling bad. I was meant to go to work the following monday but never went to work again. I stayed drunk for weeks. It ended with me being taken to a rehab unit. The lowest point was in hospital before the referral to the unit. Surrounded by the old and infirm; the mentally ill. I would've climbed out the hospital window but my parents had taken my wallet. At least in the unit I was medicated which took the edge off withdrawal and the therapists there understood and had time. Those professionals and my family saved me. I had walked to the edge many times before, but this time I fell over it and could not get back. That was early June and I've been sobre since. It's a fact that I cannot limit my alcohol intake. Now I am back on soberrecovery...

The only road to where you will be is either GO UP or GO DOWN and you choose the right right way. Just think of your inner family circle, you friends, your facebook friends, your twitter followers, how would that be like if you have continued down the spiralling road? Will you be remembered or just in a "person" from the past? Thankfully you have upgraded yourself, Great buddy.
