Am approaching 3 years clean and sober and am so grateful to so many people but especially to God. My sobriety happened out of divine intervention as I do not know for sure how many people were praying for me. I was about to die by my own hand and a friend who I call my angel intervened. I was not so happy with her at the time. I have a few concerns with 3 years of sobriety coming up. I read recently that 1 in 4 people relapse in the first four years and oh how that stinking thinking sneeks up on a person, It is a constant effort to keep my alcoholic mind from doing what it wants. I have grown spiritually as I have to rely on my Higher power to get me through. J

I have been sober for 6 years and living one day at a time, living the program in and around my life. I have changed so much every day is a learning experiance,always keeping an open mind. Thanks to everyone in the program that are possitive people. You are what you live. If the people around you are negitive people you will get the negitive bug.  if you are around happy possitive people you will be possitive.  May the program be with you and the higher power of your choice..  .  *&* here is an angel to watch over you all...

Sobriety from alcohol via my HIgher Power but not through AA
|
I quit alcohol through God's hand only. I woke up one morning and knew what I had to do, then God gave me the power to carry it out. I have attended some AA step meetings with my Al-anon friends as I am a member of Al-anon.

Hello Everyone! As you can see I'm back and starting over. Not feeling too good right now. Thought I could handle the alcohol. Did for a while, then it came back and bit me in the A**. Anyway, I'm here. I guess that's a start.

Recovery journey is not just about A.A. or N.A. or how often I go to church to commune with a Higher Power of my understanding. Nor is it being a "good sponser" who continually quotes recovery slogans while resisting the stages of life change. Recovery is knowing I can and will screw up with the decisions that I make and the outcome(s) of those decisions. It is knowing that there will be times that i will feel as though I have let others down and they make sure that I know it. Times when I feel my emotions are getting the "better" of me. In spite of these matters recovery tells me that I am capable of obtaining the promises of hope, gratitude and love of self.

Staying Clean & Sober has become like breathing-it's just what I do & how I live. Here's the secret-keep doing the basics daily and share the miracle of recovery with others. Miracles happen one day at a time.

I was just sitting here thinking.....why has it taken so long for me to let go and then I remembered a card I bought myself years ago. It has a picture of a turtle on the front...and says "It's not the speed.....it's the getting there". I signed it.....love God. Guess I was trying to tell myself something. Glad to be here.

Not being a Herione addict, Coke, I was not made welcome in NA back in 1986, Lowell MA. I have no regrets since AA gave me one solidfoundation that has kept me paying attention in meetings looking beyond the drug of choice and working on my behaviors. I am an NA member today but still go to AA and visit my old friends. My life is good and I know it will continue to get better ODAAT!

My point of surrender was August 8th and I reached out and asked for help. I had my last drink, white wine when I went out for dinner with a friend, on the 20th of August. I worked with a Social Worker at the YWCA for the first six months. I didn't go to AA until I went into treatment November 2nd of 1991.
