    The Long Road Getting Sober

    The Long Road Getting Sober

    Life at 11 months the count down to one year..
    What has really change the way I think for one ..But who I am hasn't really
    ..I'm can still be a total ass with my anger.But I can control it ..So much
    better now . And when ask the question.. Do I want to drink the answer will
    always be yes.. But it all come down to who I want to be..The bad ass roger
    or the good one ..You can say I have realize what it does to me ..Like two
    personality doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde..And the thing is I know what I want
    now and I love who I am becoming .. It really doesn't matter what people
    think of me anymore ..I'm not here to make their lives better ..But to make
    my life better and there after come the true me ..And if you were to ask for
    my secret ..I have none ..To tell you the truth it is all me willpower
    knowing what I really want out of life and who I want to be .. The problem
    of everyday life is and will always be there you can't stop it from coming..
    But you can make the best of what you have and who you are..
    When it all comes down to it we are all the same just maybe some have more
    money or more kids ,job sucks your husband an asshole or your wife etc etc..
    When that problem happen .. Its all but two question to be ask should I or
    shouldn't I .. It goes the same with having fun spending time with friends
    and family .. Do or don't and these day's I don't want to drink and I don't
    need
    and i also wanted to add this .. what my ex-wife wrote ..

    Hi Roger, I'd be glad to. "Having Roger not drinking anymore has made a very positive change in many people's lives; especially his sons. They wanted a father who would be understanding, patient and non-judgemental. It seems to me that alcohol can turn the nicest people into mean, rash people. Before, I could not get along with him, and I had no patience for his attitude. Now, it's like I re-discovered one of my best friends and I am proud to call him the father of my children. I know it will always be a somewhat difficult road for him to stay on at times; but I know he will perservere and stay sober. If he doesn't, he stands to lose everything again. And I never want to see that happen. " How's that? Hope you havea great weekend. Talk to ya later. Margie

    peace love and god bless happy sunday
    everyone
    :beach: life does change as long as you are willing to change yourself ..
    best thing about the future it comes one day at a time..

                            What a heartfelt and inspiring post by both you and your ex-wife. I know how proud your sons are of you. You have truly changed your life in so many positive ways. Your post will no doubt inspire those who want all of those positives in their life as well.
                            You are a valued and trusted friend to me and so many on this forum. Always, there to listen and support everyone...both old and new. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a good friend to me and I look forward to next month when we will celebrate 1 year!!!!
