Hi, I’m new to this group. I just celebrated 9 months of sobriety on September 2nd. I had been in and out of rehab 5 times in the past 2 and a half years. The last one was Landmark Recovery here in Indianapolis IN. They really helped me understand my addiction and even helped me find a place to live. I have been living in a sober living house for the past 8 months, and I never thought in a million years I would ever even think about a sober living house. I always thought “those places are for junkies with no job, no family and no where else to go other than living in the streets.” I now know that’s the farthest thing from the truth. I have a family that loves me and children that love me and they know this is the best move I could have made in my life. I stay grounded and accountable for my life, I stay connected with my family and friends, I go to AA meetings. Not everyday is sunshine and rainbows. I have good days and bad days, but I don’t drink. If I drink I lose my family. If I drink I die. I never thought I could actually enjoy life being sober until now.
