I am only 8 days into sobriety, and I use, and have all along, the word "only" because it in itself is humbling to me. And I didn't realize that until today.... The most humbling experience I've had, thus far, is saying the words, "I'm op, and I'm an alcoholic". "I AM AN ALCOHOLIC." Hell, I'd never said that to myself, let alone to a room full of people. I never considered myself an alcohlic. I've never lost a job, never been to jail, my bills are paid, my house is clean and my kid is fed! I CAN'T be an alcoholic. I just have a little problem with drinking :lmao
So, for me to be able to say those words, to myself and outloud to others has been very humbling. And thru this lesson I hope to be able to learn so much more about myself and pray that my humility gets easier. One day at the time.......
