This is freaking awesome! I still have many moments but not as many... It is feeling easier, not as many big waves just ripples. I'm able to relax a bit now and not think so much about alcohol. I even laid down with out being anxious this afternoon and not wanting to drink.

Had a full day with my son all the way up till an hour ago. Instead of hiding out with my 18 pack by myself.

I'm fortunate I have not gotten to the point of job lose financial worries or losing my loved ones... But I know it was just around the corner, I can see that now.

Thanks again to everyone here, this site has been a big help for me.

two facts brought me into recovery....one was the idea if I was not alcoholic I would become an alcoholic because I was progressing that direction with my drinking....the other was I did not want to lose driving license because of my drunk driving which was habitual...so I stopped....I found AA to help me stop...live that life today nearly 20yrs later....hope you stick around until the miracles happen in your life do not leave five minutes before the next miracle...stay sober by keeping the plug in the jug!

Im sure your son is extremely grateful as well :)

Congratulations on your sobriety and happiness.

Isn't it weird we don't see the MESS until we are out of it? How did you escape the work loss? Its really messed up when you look back at how you were...and how you were getting away with it.

Glad you escaped....and wish you many more days of happiness. :)

Be stubborn Tony, be very very stubborn and make a commitment to yourself to continue on this changed path. Having a son is a hellova good reason to do so yeah.I know my daughter was an inspiration to me. You and your family are worth the effort.
