11 months, 17 days
April 15th while visiting a friend in Albuquerque I decided it was time. I’ve been here before, but I wasn’t in active recovery.
I’m at the crossroads of a lot of change…becoming 60, 38th year of being HIV positive, deciding where and with whom I’d like to live, entering recovery, finding where serenity lives, discovering what’s important for me.
Fasten your seatbelt…

There's nothing to fear amidst all of this. For me, sobriety was the best decision I ever made. Life at times still sucks, but not like it used to.
I, too, am a real alcoholic. I am turning 65 this year, and I have early stage prostate cancer.
But I don't have to drink about it or anything. The obsession was removed long ago when I wasn't even paying attention.
Life doesn't necessarily get easier. We just get better at handling life one day at a time.
