Im 6 months and a few days sober today!
I was defeated,depressed,Hopeless ect.
In an out rehab 4 or 5 times over the last few years actually trying two get sober after a lifetime of drinkin an usin I Slowly lost everything,relationships,jobs,kids,family,most importantly myself you name it i lost it..
Once i finally sat my behind down. Stopped tryin two fix it myself an honestly admitted my way doesnt work,An i dont think or react two things like a normal person does. An gave myself time two get sober an trust other ppl who have been where i was an stopped trying two control things. Obviously my way doesnt work. Things slowly little bit at a time get better. an better. One day ur reflect on how far you have come an be proud of urself again .An it becomes a healthy addiction. Im a addict that will never change an unless i give my self time two find something that makes u happy an then i willingly will become addicted two it. I look two those things two bring me happiness make myself an others proud of me an i become addicted two that feeling then i have a choice an everyday u have two decide two be happy an proud of urself. Thats been my experience going threw recovery i moved from ihp,iop listened two ppl thats been where i have an moved into sober living instead of my own place because thats not what i wanted but truthfully i new thats what i needed,an sat down an listened an im happier than ive been in 20 years,good things wont stop happening because im makin the right choices,Its not a gamble on if todays gonna be the day i lose it all AGAIN,I JUST NEEDED TWO VENT AN GIVE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE GAVE ME .

Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding. Figuring out my way wasn’t working was a huge leap for me.
Keep coming back 
You kept showing up when life kept knocking you down, and now look at you… 6 months sober. That’s some real strength. Keep making those right choices. You’re rewriting your story, and there’s pretty powerful.
