Today is the 25th anniversary of my sobriety.
25 years ago today, 1/14/90, I came to the realization that my 3 friends who always told me that alcohol was a problem were right, after about 2 years of telling them to go f*** themselves. 2 of those people I still count as close friends. The other guy & I simply lost touch.
I'm not going to preach or pontificate. I will only say that if YOU struggle with addiction, than get to a meeting and realize that you CAN get here from there. It is NOT hopeless!
I know that if I hadn't stopped drinking, I wouldn't have, or deserve, the wife and son that I have today.
Is life perfect? No. Is it better sober than drunk? Yes!
25 years ago today I had 1 day's sobriety. One day at a time!
Thank you for allowing me to share.
PEACE!
