1 week sober today. I feel blessed because even though I haven't gone more than 2 weeks without drinking for the better part of a decade; the only withdrawal symptom I have is irritability, anxiety and sleeplessness. I've been through recovery before, over a decade ago from different substances and eventually lost my way and replaced those with alcohol, but not really.. I really feel like alcoholism has been with me since being a teenager. I'm happy to be sober and every day I notice just how many people in the world abuse some kind of substance or likes to use something here and there.
I'm surrounded by this. I am still looking for a sponsor and support group. I'm working on gathering a group of 5 connections, seems a bit daunting..
