Sure enough I hit four years and actually forgot to blog about the day. It'sa a big deal I know as is every day of sobriety. I am not a sober alcoholic who "struggles" or is "white knuckled.' I just do not ever want to drink again. Life sucks, tho not as bad as suffering from full blown practicing alcoholism does. Sure as poo life at its worse is still better than ever drinking again. For me once I began practicing sobriety there will be no turning back.
I read several articles and blogs while searching for my blog on the web. Interestingly enough one article defined sober as not drinking although still white knuckled and struggling to be free; while recovering is dealing with all of the causes and not drinking again.
Well for sure I am very glad my quitting methodology of the good old fashion, "I'm finally tired and drained emotionally, physically, and Spiritually to the point of exhaustion and will never drink again Thank God" worked. Pretty easy motivator with memories of losses, personal injury, and sorrow driving deep deep desires to never drink again.
So my other two quits are going fine too. Nicotine still taps my thoughts from time to time, and I resist because I am so far down the road of healing, recovery, sobriety, Celebrating Freedom from everything, and that I am not going to do those stupidities again either.
There now. Now I have celebrated with words about my deep deep affection, appreciation, compassion and deep abiding love with living my life as a sober alcoholic. And there's no going back.
On another note my N.M. friend whom I've mentioned and rallied about numerous occasions; well he's not communicated with me in four weeks now. I'll keep you posted.
Thank God Almighty.
Indeed Thank God Almighty I Live Free
Ecstatically Joyously Sober.
