my sobriety is the most wonderful thing i ever did for myself. The PROMISES really do come true. sobriety has given me more things than i can even list. a few:
gratitude serenity peace a new way of living, not just sobriety wonderful sober friends the gift, a joy of living better coping skills in all my affairs a conscious contact with my higher power. he did what i couldn't do alone. he gave me hope. freedom from the bondage of my disease living in today not worrying about tomorrow i was a "retread". i thought i was a loser cause i kept going back to drinking over and over. but i'd just get up and start again. i had the willingness to keep trying til i got it right. i know there will always be life things that happen but today i know i can handle my reactions differently. today my life is happy, joyous and free  ONE DAY AT A TIME.my wish for all who are struggling i offer this message- HOPE.
