Best decision of my life, I've struggled with drinking for over 20 years, I finally found my savior. I have 5 weeks and I look forward to every meeting. I'd go every day if my schedule allowed. The people are amazing. Almost finished the big book and looking forward to 12 steps, 12 promises.

It was the best decision of my life too, in that I have a real life now. Before that I was in an awful "twilight zone" sick, and hurting myself and others.

I am delighted for you, give those12 Steps all you've got and your whole outlook will change.

Today I am wide awake and I can do things that bring me joy and satisfaction. The drinking game holds no appeal whatsoever for me, it was torture trying to control what I never could. I saw this amongst so many AA members, the ones who gave me visible hope and I have enduring friendships with those who helped me one to one.

Well done on 5 weeks and I love your positive attitude.

Hello ConfusedGuy69,

That is great news and I wish you all the best. There are amazing opportunities ahead and the only limit to what you can achieve is the work you are prepared to put into it.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
