I have not been around here much in the last 2 months. Sober since March 10 2014 and my life has done a full 180. My career that I was about to lose has exploded in the last two years. My income has near doubled. My divorce that I drank my way into is all but done. All these are serious gifts of sobriety. But the biggest gift is what happened on May the 8. The woman that supported me in my darkest days as an active alcoholic agreed to be my wife. I am getting married to my best friend on Sept 16 2017. The life I lead now is better then my wildest dreams. To get to where I am today I fully surrendered to my powerlessness over even one drink. I worked very hard at staying sober, living right. This forum, the support here and sharing my experience has helped but I had to work harder then that. I did 90 AA meetings in 90 days, this helped me get honest with myself. Got a sponsor, joined a group and worked the steps. Today I hit 3 meetings per week. Life is good, I have to keep doing the things that got it good. Thank you are who post on here, new comers and long timers. Reading about the pain of the still suffering and the wisdom of those in recovery helps me stay away from that first drink.
