This time last weekend I was blacked out drunk… I had a fight and was arrested, I’m so thankful just to be home and getting another chance to start over… A change is definitely needed

Consequences can provide motivation. And if you were lucky enough like I was to be released on conditions, including proving your sobriety in one way or another, you need to take positive action.

Resources for our recovery

There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources. Please note: I created this with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman, it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions (found at the end of this post), but it is heavy with resources for alcohol recovery…

Sometimes we need a wake up call. Good luck

Many a wake up call have gone unheeded or kept their owners sober exactly until the fear faded. Action and responsibility are what’s needed at this point.

What are you prepared to DO @Ron12 to get your sobriety on track?

You already got the list of resources, here’s some more suggestions: Advice for newcomers?

Let us know how you get on. You gotta up your game or this shit will keep happening.
You can do this.

We can choose our bottoms, before our bottoms choose us. This sounds like a good bottom to choose.

This time last weekend i was being picked up of my doorstep at 4pm!!
Lets stick at this and keep looking forward

Ron…as always, great advice given. In a strange way, having an event (being arrested, hurting yourself, DUI) can be helpful. It gives you something concrete and unpleasant to think about when cravings hit. Because they will!!

This is SO true from @Faugxh :

I see you joined in May. Time to do things differently?
