First time in my life that i have acknowledged that I need help and I’m outpatient group therapy for alcohol addiction and I am not ashamed and beginning to feel whole again. I go to a place called Rehab After Work and feel so supported ! Do not ever be afraid to seek help, i kno I did in the past

Awesome Kathy:fire: I’ve been exactly where you are at. If I could share something that really caught me off guard in my own progress. 
Back in 2009 when I started out I was Very Excited about the Sobriety Milestones that where coming up for me. 30 day, 90 day 6 months 1 year, 2 years etc etc and to be 100% honest nothing really magical or amazing happened. After a week or two that’s when I really was On Fire. Plus it was humbling and helped me appreciate The Now. Today is Great:heart:

Thank u Mark, they’ve been stressing that same thing in group - to not worry abt the future, live in the NOW (mindfulness). It’s a great technique !
Use your outpatient and all your meetings as therapy. I've learned something every time. It's not always Earth shattering but it's great because when using and being self-centered I did my best to Run from Facing everything. Especially me...I knew my problems were of my own making but I'd learned somewhere to blame everyone else. You can survive these early days .
Day by day, hour by hour, sober friends in hand...

Thank u David! Ur exactly correct, I FINALLY have taken responsibility and stopped blaming others along with always finding an excuse to drink -one little stressful situation n I would say to myself “I need a few drinks” Cycle broken, on the path to recovery n it feels amazing, thank u!
