Just keep putting one foot in front of the other
Its funny I was reading about the first miracle Jesus brought about, water from changed water to wine, then we came in and screwed the whole thing up lol drank way more than our share ,got loud passed on the front door, told off jokes...
We abused the privilege. It's freeing when you finally accept that you can't go back to the old way, we have to find acceptance about it. It's complete surrender
I guess what im saying ,the character defects showed up to the party and things got real, and fast, I have a couple of years more sober feb 2010 , the ride has been a kick in the pants,but the alternative would be ugly so I pray every day ,
Exactly, my worst day sober, doesn't compare to what life was like towards the end of my drinking and using. It was hell on Earth. Now, while things aren't perfect, I'm present, a good mother, a good daughter, and a good friend. And I can look myself in the mirror. If you haven't done so already, the steps really can help you with those character defects. I didn't even know what some of them were until I did the work
I like to listen to speaker tapes on youtube, and I heard a speaker one say, you know what's worse than your first 30 days is sobriety? The last 30 days of your sobriety....
That hit me big. I went into treatment in 2006 and I had a couple of small hiccups up until 2012, and I've been sober ever since. But nothing changes if nothing changes, and I needed to do the work to change the person who I was
Dont trip
I haven’t drank in 14 years but started going to AA again after not going for a long time because I don’t like the way I’m thinking lately. I never went through the steps but I’m thinking of trying it now
