It's a bright new day each day sobriety begins. Stepping through the pervasive fog and disregard which beset every day while existing in an alcohol induced haze is boggling, and yet continued. We had no strength from which to find the truth and we foraged on the bitter grasses of regret, sorrow, yesterday, anger, all the metaphors of displeasure and dissatisfaction, even the angerous hate and disappointment in what we'd become. We hid ourselves from the truth, we drowned our sorrows and they did not die no matter how subversive or perversive we tried; tho others succeeded in drowning.
Celebration comes from being free to walk the path of life with pride and joy that we are free at last. This does not come without the price of fear, knowing without constant maintenance of ourselves and the awareness we must continue loving ourselves, life, others, and something Greater than ourselves, (For me, Christianity), that failure could become reality. So we persevere day by day.
Perseverance brings celebration, but that too we must keep secret. Our very heartfelt jubilation of celebrating sobriety we cannot share freely and openly with the world for fear. Fear of what exactly? Fear that we are sober? I think not, for that is our life now. Fear that we might be looked down upon for failing and falling to our illness of addiction? I think not, for we are finally able to hold our heads up high with pride; and we are conquering beasts I tell you. The gladiators of sobriety.
Too bad so sad that we cannot all also post freely with our name associated about our sobriety like (click here =>Roger Ebert did in his blog.
My quitting was by and thru The Grace of God. I just simply got tired of sending him the same old tired prayer of, "Oh God, please help me get sober." I didn't take that first step until eventually, 6 August 2014 I took the Best step of my life. Took that first step alone into sobriety however, God caught me and walked with me from then on. (I pictured for my standing up, the "Foot Print's in the Sand"; do whatever works for you.) Big scary step I am here to tell you. Awesome happy step too!
There is no right way to quit drinking alcohol, nor any wrong way to quit drinking alcohol. Quitting you have to begin yourself. Afterwards finding what works best for you to maintain your sobriety is the best way also. Whether Celebrate Recovery, or A.A.; beginning by quitting is the first step to pronouncing; "Thank God Almighty (or whoever), I am sober at last."
Thank you reading. Remember life is short so celebrate every moment before it's gone. Go on now get along and enjoy your day. ttyl8r.
