Life In Sobriety Community Group
A group for all those who are living a sober life and want to discuss how it is for you today - months, years into sober living. The focus is not on how you got sober, it's how you see and appreciate your life today and how your relationships with people and life itself may have changed.
"We are alcoholics. Even though now recovered, we are never too far removed from the possibility of fresh personal disaster. Each knows he must observe a high degree of honesty, humility, and tolerance, or else drink again."
This weekend at an event, I found myself carrying two bottles of wine. One opened and chilled. It sloshed onto my arm as I put it onto the outdoor dining table. The smell was almost visceral and I had a scary thought... "Why not?" Banished it quickly, called my sponsor and all was ok. But I was shocked with no cravings for over 18 months that I'd react this way even if temporarily.
Alcoholism is cunning baffling powerful. I was humbled by that and also now feel I need to share the fact of my alcoholism with a few more close friends.
