My friend runs a meeting at a treatment center and asked me to speak last night. I've spoken there before, but it's been awhile since I told my story. It was great! I'm getting more and more comfortable talking about my past to strangers, and getting better at telling it. It actually lasted longer than 20 minutes and at the end they had a discussion, and so many of the kids were excited about young people's committee I made mention to. They thanked me for showing them that their fun is not over just because they're getting sober and I shared my battle to stay sober through the MS and they thanked me for showing them that it's possible to stay sober throught anything. It felt great to be of service. I've been in a deep depression and am starting to come out of it, and last night helped immensly!! 1 year, 2 months, 19 days today. It's been tough the last month and a half, not wanting to drink, but not being serene. On the road to getting that back. The MS makes me feel like a newcommer again. Anyway....just wanted to update ya'll breifly.
