    My 2 years sober

    It's been 2 years
    the challenge of sobriety
    which I took
    and take every day
    Every hour, minute, second

    It was tough, hard
    But I am doing it
    will I stay sober forever
    I don't know
    Do I want to stay sober for ever
    Yes I do

    Those were days of drinking
    I was drinking at life
    At my loneliness
    To party alone
    To get spice in life
    Thought it was cool thing to do

    Life's had its issues
    Challenges and troubles
    So many people came in my life
    And left me. .
    Some stayed on but
    Then I deserted them
    One thing that stayed on with me
    Was AL. My partner in every moment.

    2 yeas ago I deserted AL too
    Left it high and dry
    unlike others I felt good this time
    sense and feeling of doing something right

    But I am weird
    Some people say I am crazy
    Shave my head to stay bald
    Listen to old music in new times
    Prefer being with myself
    Being alone for so long
    crazy enough to to cycle
    Even after a broken leg
    Working hard even though
    It now what I want to do
    And lastly
    Saying no to drink ...

    I don't care what others think
    I don't care what people say
    I don't worry
    But I do think
    A lot ..
    about life ...

    Reborn, grateful as I feel everyday
    Every moment
    Since I left AL
    I thank all you here at MWO
    Where I vented a lot
    where I learned a lot
    made new friends
    Whom helped me
    without no self motive

    How life today is different
    What used to be a daily drinking
    Daily collapsing on bed
    Is today ...
    Bed time stories for kids
    Thrill with early morning cycling

    I celebrate 2 years at MWO
    Where I logged in first
    about 3 years back
    And about an year of trying
    I managed 2 years
    I am still here
    Still trying
    Still saying no to all
    Its easier now then before ...

    Did I moderated with drinking
    Yes I tried ...
    And failed ...
    Again and again ...
    But I found peace in complete abstinence
    That's the way ...
    Only way ...

      Lovely post Rahul and I am really happy for and with you.
      You are right, a sober life makes more sense. Sober is easier.
      Sober gives us more choices and allows us to make better choices.
      Well done!

        No matter how far you go or how fast you run, you can't get away from yourself. ....said at an AA meeting. It stuck with me.

                Excellent post. Congrats and well done on staying sober two years.
                I strive to do the same.

                Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

                    Its for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and DO NOT let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1

                          Congratulations on 2 years Rahul! You've captured the beauty of sobriety and thank you for sharing.
                          Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free.
