- I don't know what I did to deserve this amazing life I now have but it just happens day by day as long as I call my sponsor daily and go to meetings regularly aswell as my 12 step work. Knowing I haven't drank for nearly 7 months with the help and...
- Yesterday I completed step 1 with my sponsor I had to admit I was an alcoholic (seems easy doesn't it) it took me 3 months to write about how I am powerless over alcohol and my life has become unmanageable. My sponsor even said "if you're not ready...
- I am so grateful to actually go this long without a drink. There was one time early this year I went 78 days and thought it would be ok to have a drink and I tried so hard to stay sober after that, it would be 1 week sober, 3 week sober, 16 days...
- So today is day 67 for me and yesterday was a hard day. I went to work and had a good day as always but my car kept making a terrible noise and it turns out it was the brake pads going. I was feeling on edge every time I drove it and all I could...

- Usually I leve my meetings feeling very calm and confident about my recovey, im on Day 34 now. But last night I was feeling so much anger in it from some new girl and her friend coming in and just spending the whole night laughing and sniggering...
- This has been a day I have tried to get to for a very long time, I know from the one other time I actually did get this far that things start to clear up in my head and get easier. But I'm not just going to sit here and say it was easy or say I'm...
- So I have officially got further than the last 2 attempts I have tried to quit and I'm very happy about that! I'm currently going to 5 a.a meetings a week, running 4 times a week and working full time, it is getting really stressful to balance this...
- So after my third relapse this year I realised I can not control this on my own anymore, and I was thinking about going to AA and thought "no its going to be religious" then I thought about how I was thinking I will do ANYTHING at all which would...
- I've done really well in the past going 78 says without drinking then another 21 days after a relapse but I'm finding it really hard this time to get motivated like I did before, this time I'm choosing to go to aa, do the 12 steps. Honestly I will...
- Hello everyone,Just wanted to say I'm happy with my progress at the moment but I know I still have a lot to work on still;I've been looking at AA meetings that I could visit and hopefully join soon. Also a few days ago. I told my mum I had a relapse...
- So I'm not stopping again for my job, been sober 9 days now. Last time I relapsed was because of a night stop and being around people who don't know I can't drink, I can't tell them. It's like I'm holding on and hoping that one day I could just have...
