Sober Steve

Sober in the land of brandy and beer since 9/5/2014

Lost a member from my home group this week. So tired of being blindsided by death in this program. Need to get to a point of acceptance with it. No other choice. RIP Chris.

Y'all ever feel like non-addicts/alcoholics shouldn't use the word 'grateful'? I'm like "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW GRATEFUL"

About 8 years ago, I drove drunk and crashed, nearly killing myself and one of my best friends. Now, I have 3+ years sober. My friend from the crash has 13 days sober. Today, we went to our first meeting together.

And last night, I had to interview a bar owner for work. It was fine too just those are always weird.

Not gonna drink over it -- will just whine here. Speaking of wine, she had me open her a new bottle of that (for her) just now (she apologized -- it's fine).

[Sober Steve @SoberSteve79]

Feeling alone and distant from her lately. Unappreciated. Many things lacking at home.

My sponsee picked this up the other day. Congrats to the homie!

Heard my sponsee's 5th step today. Powerful. Grateful. He's really feeling the relief. Powerful. Grateful.

@dankodavid818 told him about the next meeting I was going to. He showed. Gave him my # again. He didn't call yet

[Sober Steve @SoberSteve79]

A young man I know from meetings asked me to be his sponsor today. He was drunk. Sad AF right now. Got me in tears on this bus. Fck.

RIP Joe. RIP Mark. RIP Bill. Three eldery men I know from around the tables who passed recently. Much wisdom. All died sober. #XA #AA

Writing about scientific medical marijuana breakthroughs for a magazine that has no clue I'm an addict and convicted drug dealer. Fun times.
