The first few weeks, first few months I was on that pink cloud. Not everything was grand, but I was sober, and I felt better, I was making new friends, etc. etc.
My sponsor was guiding me thru the steps. I was working, running a business, taking care of my family, going to as many mtgs as I could , and I was sober.
Before I knew it .. a few years had gone by and I was still sober, I had not drank. It was a miracle !! Today, over 6 yrs since my last drink, I wonder sometimes .. Wow, that time flew by SO fast, where did it all go?
One day at a time with Gods grace and mercy, the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and its fellowship, along with the loving guidance of my sponsor I have not had to pick up a drink.
Myself and millions of Others are living proof that this works .. dont ever doubt that Jasper.
Congratulations! Get a God, a Sponsor and work the steps, and help Others and watch your life change every single day. It really is a miracle
Feels great TG. Sobriety is so much more than just not drinking... it is clarity of mind. Each day my mind gets a little clearer... I act on problems instead of reacting to them. I am enjoying the better moments in life and feeling the sadness of loss. It's overwhelming at times. I have found myself crying a lot the past few days when I think of God's grace and love. But it a cry of joy and relief, mixed with a hint of sadness for not discovering this years ago prior to my problems with alcohol.
