Hello 
I’m new here, my name is Annette and this my first time in my life I am seeking a alcohol free life. After doing things my way for a very long time and using alcohol as a way to cope with my anxiety and stress I have decided that enough is enough. Last month I literally hit rock bottom. My marriage was suffering, my depression was taking over my life and quite frankly I hated facing myself in the mirror every morning. I was disappointed in myself and the miserable person I was becoming. I have two beautiful boys that are counting on me and I know they deserve nothing but the best version of me.
I started attending AA and it’s been life changing. Listening to other peoples stories and their testimonies has motivated and pushed me to continue down this road of sobriety. It’s only been 1 month and ironically so many doors have opened for me or perhaps my sobriety has let me see what I would other wise see as a challenge or chore as more of an opportunity. I just wanted to share some encouragement to anyone out there that might be struggling with addiction. There really is more to life than the same toxic patterns that leaves you feeling more empty. I know I have a long road ahead and I know that this is only the beginning but life finally feels like it’s worth living for again and waking up in the morning hangover free and looking myself in the mirror has been such a blessing to say the least. Wishing you all a wonderful week

I’ve been with NA since September 1st, 2020 and finally clean since August 1st, 2021. the first 30 days were extremely difficult and thanks to the program I made it too. Gratitude, trust and faith. Connection is key, as is honesty, willingness, and open-mindedness. For today only, greetings and hugs from Switzerland.
Congrats on 30 days
