That's good to hear closer. Alcohol was never a solution to my problems, even though it masqueraded around as one. The only real solution is total abstinence and one worth fighting for. So keep up the good fight closer, and continue to reap all the benefits this sober life has to offer.

I was just feeling really bad about how things are going in my life and the thought of drinking came to my mind, I was having a bad day and I was remembering how good i used to feel getting drunk, I remmebered how much it would calm me down, how much I loved it...I wanted to drink and feel good so bad that I got 2 tall cans of strong 8% beer just for a taste...but before I drank any I decided to pour them down the toilet...as soon as I did this, I felt an actual strong relief from my bad day...guess it was my higher power...Im definently on the AA road..its day 76 now...the thing Im noticing more than anything is how much better my spiritual health is. Ive redone my apartment and I could swear theres something in the air above how good I made it look...drinking does something to people thats almost in theyre spiritual tissues as its said in the big book...Im really hoping I dont blow this cause something keeps telling me theres a better life ahead if I stay clean. I keep getting more and more like my old self from a long time ago too...
"Come to me all of you who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest." This was a promise I got from my Bible when I was experiencing a really bad time and could not turn to anyone other than God. As I meditated on this truth, I felt a release of God's power into my weak bones and troubled mind. Just thought that I would share this with you.
