Hi guys me again I made it to 90 days thought I'd
share my experience so far. Even before I stopped
drinking I knew I wanted to change I Wanted to
quit drinking make new friends and have some sort
of social life that didn't revolve around
drugs or booze.
I should be hit on the head with a hammer for not
realizing this sooner, after 25 days sober and alone
I went nuts being all alone most of the time with
nothing to do.. so I said screw it and went to AA
I had to see for myself what kept these people
coming back to these rooms...
So I did everything they suggest get a sponsor
work the steps ( I Don't really care for the
steps myself BUT, if I had to do 150 of them
instead of 12 to stay sober I would at this
point... I reached a point of desperation
I couldn't stay sober on my own the longest
I've made it was about 25 days...)
Staying home sober and watching tv and playing
video games eventually gets boring and surely
enough I would fall back into booze..
Why I kept going back to AA is because I developed
some friendships with some of the people that
attend the meetings... so all of a sudden I have
a social life even tho it's with sober alcoholics.
I have something to do and new people to call
and the most important thing of all is they understand
me and my problems... I can share anything with these
people and they will sit there and listen then they
will share their experiences with me.
That in itself is the greatest thing you can do in
early recovery... it is working for me and I can
no longer deny that AA does not work.
It's almost bringing tears to my eyes saying this
now, today was probably the happiest day I've
had in the last 15 years.
I got my 3 month chip I had dinner with 3 other
guys from aa and I'm the happiest I've ever
been.
I can't even imagine how much better I will
feel when I get to say 6 and 9 months and so
on.
And as far as relapse is concerned It doesn't
worry me because even if I do I have people
I can depend on to help me out.
