My Personal Way Out
Everything has changed. My relationships with people, and myself and I'm glad they have. I live at a much more gentle pace. I don't live in fantasy-land any more. I know what's real and what matters. There's come some sort of self-reliance; not in a material sense, but a deeper kind of integity that's giving me new priorities. I have discovered that I can have a good effect on things and that it's not all about me, though only I can sort myself out. It can't be done for me. I can have a good life without drinking and without associating fun with booze. In all my life I have found that most bad things that have happened to me have happened while I was drinking.
I'm genuinely grateful to have another shot at life and I don't want to mess it up again; mine or anybody elses. I still feel like a Newbie. There's still so much to learn about everything that I used to take for granted and I'm having a great time finding out.
Justed wanted to say popeye Thank you for sharing your story i love the last bit you posted everything has changed so happy for you! xFormerly known as Teardrop:l
sober dry since 11th Jan '2010' relapse/slip on 23/7/13 working in progress ! Sober date 25/7/13 ( True learning has often followed an eclipse, a time of darkness, but with each cycle of my recovery, the light grows stronger and my vision is clearer. (AA)
