Team!
As of today I am 1 year sober! 1 year ago today I entered rehab. 21 days…
Terrified, almost backed out several times (would have on the spot if my wife wasn’t with me)…but I did it. Best thing I ever did and it honestly saved my life.
You can do it - “day by day” as they say…just wake up every morning and tell yourself, or pray as I did, “Just let me get through today”…every night do the reverse “Thank you for getting me through today!”…next thing you know it, its 10 days…then 30…then 45…and now a year.
Its a f’d up disease, but its possible to overcome it. If you’re an alcoholic like me, you always will be, but you can get control over it.
fyi: If you are ever thinking rehab, or are about to, or even just curious about what its really like - I kept a daily journal and turned it into a book. “The Med Line” by John B… you can search on Amazon. Its all true, no filtering.
