RR, what an inspirational story!
So glad that you are AL free and finding happiness in your life. You sound so happy and that is great.

Keep working on being AL free. Life might be awesome right now but if a bump comes along you will be ready for it. Right?!

Way to go, I am happy for you.

Sobriety, the gift that keeps on giving

It's been another 4 or 5 months, thought I would drop a note...

Well, 5 months continually sober, and getting married to the wonderful someone I mentioned earlier... on Sept 26th. We are taking pre-marriage classes and everything at our ripe old age, really want to do this one right.

Life is no longer so dramatic (though I occasionally run into someone I know is still using and even if they are sober at the moment, their life is comparatively chaotic). Life is peaceful and quietly rewarding. I have not missed a day of work, nor been tardy since sobriety. Things that baffled me are now clear. I am reaching out and achieving in personal, professional and spiritual matters where I used to flounder.

Even in previous extended sobriety (once more than 10 years!) I never felt this... happy. I feel unchained, and in a way, I am for the first time, both happy AND sober at the same time.

And I occasionally look back over my shoulder at my history. I don't really regret much, but it is good not to forget what it was like, the bad times. No sober alcoholic walks for long without reminding themselves of what it was once like, and that the danger is never completely gone.

But for today, man... I never knew life could be so good.

Take Care,

Phil
