I've been sober for 2 years. I go to meetings, I have a sponsor and I network. My mother, bless her heart, prayed for me my whole adult life. She prayed for a better life sober. She passed away on August, 20th 2023. God blessed me because God answered her prayer. I was sober when I had to say goodbye to my Mom. That is one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me. If you are newly sober my suggestion for you is don't drink or use and go to meetings. Get a sponsor, a big book and build a network of friends. That is so important. Also, go to sober events. They are always fun. My life today is so much better sober. My Bichon/Teddy Bear dog named Yoshi, is dying, a month ago I put my cat down. While sober I have lost 3 cats and my dog is extremely I'll. I'm telling you this because through all the pain and heartache that I've been through the last 11 months, I have not found one reason to use. Everything would be worse. I stay sober one day at a time. Just don't use no Matter what.

Like my first sponsor told me.
“As alcoholics we don’t need an excuse to drink”
