Fine Saturday Morning

I am so happy to be sober and happy this morning. My outlook on life is 110% better. Not sure if it's the med changes or what but I will take it...

I am socializing without alcohol. Doing different things and looking forward to doing them. And not cancelling. That in itself is amazing. I look forward to life. Just booked a room for an AA conference in April and can't wait. Went to a dinner theater last night. Thinking about a hike today. Beautiful weather. Beautiful life and I'm rocking AA to help me stay this way!!!!

Day 35 - 5 Weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update

Awww so much has happened since I last posted. On February 18 I drank a bottle of wine and took a bottle of klonidin. I had texted my sponsor and she tried to text me back. I said "I can't do this anymore." She called my sister who called 911 and came to my house. I remember little about that night. I spent the night in ICU. From there I went to an acute treatment center for 6 days and then onto a 21 day alcohol treatment facility.

I believe that treatment saved my life. I was able to focus on me and my sobriety without the outside stressors of life. I dealt with all kinds of feelings without alcohol. I wrote a lot and processed what I wrote with a group and a counselor. All this and much more really helped.

The most important thing I did was really surrender my alcohol problem to God. I can't tell you how my outlook has changed. I feel happy, full of hope and belief that I can stay sober. I can socialize without alcohol and I can make my dreams come true.

My plan to do so is through prayer, meditation, AA and therapy. I am 32 days sober.
