Staying sober
It's been over 6 years since I have had a drop of alcohol and I do not miss it. I have recovered from booze and repaired the damage I did to myself and others. Looking back I don't know how I let myself sink so low, the grip it had on me was something beyond my control, there was no control. Even though I had no faith, i was desperate and decided to pray, at that point I was willing to try anything. I promised I would make this my last day drinking and needed help. I left my house right after and was in a head on collision, totalled my truck and luckily i walked away with only minor injuries, but it scared me enough to quit right there. No cravings, no desire to drink in 6 years until these past few days. I feel those thoughts coming in my head saying the reasons it's ok to drink, to escape just one more time because i have done so good. That is the lie of addiction, it's not ok to use again, I was given a 2nd chance and will continue on one day at a time. I am just finding it hard right now because the urge to pick up the bottle is there for the first time since I quit.
