I’m so excited! I’ve reconnected with an old friend who has offered to be my sponsor in the past many times. I never truly accepted it knowing I would just relapse and let him down. This guy went through hell and was even a heavier drinker than I. 4 years sober and this man has been and is an inspiration to me. He’s also my new sponsor!
Whooohoooo ! Isn’t it amazing the wonderful opportunities and doors to the present (and sometimes past) that open up when we shut the doors on toxic cycles?! Im excited for you!
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I’ve tried to get sober before, but never had this kind of drive and excitement about what life can behold! Shoot, the last time I was a toxin free sober being was as a sophomore in High School back in 1991… lol, now I’m just dating myself.
Haha! I feel you! I haven’t stopped drinking since I started at 16 WITH the exception of total abstinence for a little over a year. But without support my knuckles were so white from ‘white knuckling it’ that when I started up again about four years ago it was way worse than before.
I love this group! Im so grateful that I found it… I hate to imagine where i would be if I hadn’t, most likely in the liquor isle.
