Chalm, there are so so so many people out there who have gotten sober through adversity and stayed sober through adversity. Its possible to stay sober through anything.....one of my favorite quotes from the book that helped me get sober is this: "burn the idea into the consciousness of every man that he can get well regardless of anyone." I like to add "or anything".

You don't have to keep trying this alone. There's no way I could have done it alone. Or keep doing it if I didn't have sober friends. There are so many avenues for finding a fellowship of other sober people, not just AA.

You can do it.....the other sober people on this board are proof.
