For those who remember my "I am so screwed up" post, I'd like to tell you that I am 13 days sober today. Since that post I've gotten a sponsor, called him every day, bought a Big Book, and been to a lot of meetings. This weekend my I'm seeing my sponsor to work the first two steps, and maybe the third. Driving home from my Thursday nigh men's meeting last night I felt good, really good, for the first time in months, maybe years. I'm sober, living honestly, starting to work a program again, and actually feel some hope that I can be restored to sanity. If you had asked me two weeks ago if all that could happen, I'd have said you were nuts.
13 days isn't much I know. But then again, it's the maximum amount of days I could have since that post. I'm really grateful to the folks who runs this board and the people who have replied to my posts. Thanks so much.
Frank

Congratulations Frank on 13 days of sobriety, one day at a time adds up.I'm so glad you are here sharing your experience, strength and hope with us all.
Keep doing what your doing, good for you getting a sponsor and getting started on the steps, so many think they have to be sober awhile before they use the tool, and that's not how it works.
Keep it simple and do the next right thing.

You sound like your doing good Frank
When I first came back there were quite a few days of 2 meetings and a couple of 3. By the time I drove to them it helped kill some time. I got right back into reading the BB and 12and 12. Also some spiritual stuff. Hey buddy I remember a lot of years before I could get 13 days. One day at a time is how you become an oldtimer they tell me. I think about the years I should ? or could have but I'm right where I'm suppose to be. I got to believe that. I hang out with a guy I watched come in years ago. He told me one day I helped him stay sober years ago. Funny how things workout.
Take care

was catching up on the posts with the intention of writing in the am, I was so happy to see you have gotten into the program and are doing well. I am just so tickled that you have jumped right in. God bless and always remember you have to start somewhere so don't be embarassed about anything. Just so happy for you, you made my night...

Well done FRANK!
It is great for me to hear of others who are feeling better and doing well sober. I'm only on day 2 sober right now. A day at a time, a day at a time.
