Hello all,
I just wanted to share that today, Thursday, I am sober for 6 months. If you'd have told me that 7 months ago, I think I could'nt imagine.
I've been drinking for almost 10 years, it started just like that... No, not just like that, it was b/c I thought I felt more relaxed with wine.
How wrong was I. But that's one of the steps. I lost control and had 2 choices; keep on drinking untill I might have died, or recovery. I choose the latter, and the first weeks were really really hard. I joined AA almost immediately, and look at me now! Volunteering again in a Fair Trade Shop, not scared anymore for ...the phone (they might hear it), the doorbell (they can smell it), money (do I have enough for today, tomorrow...) . So life is pretty relaxed and uncomplicated.
And you know what; this is only the beginning. In my AA group are members over 20 years of sobriety. I wanna catch up with them
