Starting to look inward & see that everything I’ve been trying to fill my void with has done nothing, but ruin me. Ruined friendships, relationships, lost jobs. I’m over it. I don’t know what a sober life looks like, but I know I won’t regret choosing this new life style. Yes it comes in waves, the emtions, the urges. I’m done trying to run away from my issues. It’s time to confront them. With a clear mind and a pure heart. I’m hoping to find a support system. People who can relate & help pick me up when I don’t have the energy to.

First, take a moment to appreciate the moments of clarity you're experiencing. Some people go through their entire lives and never see the void that's consuming them, or perceive the true nature of what's holding them back. Congratulations on making a decision to enter a new phase of your life, it's exciting. You'll want to get into a program that meets your needs right away. The best thing I ever did was find a Sponsor to help me take the steps I needed to get my life sorted out. I highly recommend that you also look into finding a group of people, in recovery, to call your "home" group. Do these few simple things, and the path before you will get very easy for you to walk. You'll be celebrating years in no time at all, and you'll get there a day at a time.
