Never Stop Trying For Your Sobriety

As someone just starting my journey of recovery, I find your post and the responses empowering and encouraging. Your mention of “finding what program works” is also helpful as I have began to join various AA groups and meetings. Your years of sobriety are a great reminder of the hard work and dedication you’ve put forward for your wellbeing and your family. Thank you for your encouraging post and comments!

@jamesmhu once you find what works for you to get & stay sober it does get easier the more time that passes to break those old habits. Keep at it & you’ll have long lasting success!

@jamesmhu If I can do it (one day at a time) anyone can. Nothing happens in the Universe for no reason. There is a synchronicity, and by all rights I should not be alive. I have found it so important to stay as present as possible. I can not think about the future or lament the past (although my mind tries). Connection is also important. Others that understand and nod their heads when I say something that I think no one understands. A.A. saved my life. When I find my self feeling sorry for myself, I try and think of things that I am grateful for. Even in times of hell, which have happened in this journey of 8 years, I did not and do not have to pick up. I was told early on, "even if your ass falls off, do not pick up." Thanks to all who have shared here.
