Gratefully in the #recoveryposse Sober/ clean since 1999! Also an adult child of alcoholics/ dysfunctional fam. Here to connect & encourage. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #acoa#aca
I celebrate a sobriety milestone this weekend.
Have not had cocaine, ecstasy, weed, gin, Budweiser, GHB, or Ritalin in 27 years. These were my DOCs.
This journey has changed my life. Iโve been restored to sanity and if I can do it, then you can do it. Today just for today.
@ManAbtAsheville Thank you. You will do it. Congratulations on your recovery! We are miracles (I relapsed 4 times in 1998-99 and never thought I could make it a year.) But the last one convinced me in June 99. What a gift. So thankful.
@SoberWithConnor Go to meetings and listen for similarities (because there tons of similarities and if you only hear differences, you will drink and use again soon). The 12 steps are a proven path to sobriety and peace.
@LaurieJ87893766 Thank you. The only thing I did was surrender and admit total defeat (this disease beat me into submission). The best thing that ever happened to me.The 12 Steps work!

Today, Iโm sober and not living in shame.
I was tortured by self hatred, even in recovery.
I lived in shame for years, thinking I deserved every bad thing.
Thank God for continued growth.
You stay on this path of the 12 steps, and I promise you miracles.
This story is so important to me because my recovery- my very life and sanity- depends on my ability to connect with people outside myself.
The older I get, the more I realize community is everything. Connection to human beings is everything (and the antidote to addiction).
Charlie Hicks ate his lunch and dinner at the Shrimp Basket in Pensacola, Florida, every day for 10 years. When he suddenly stopped showing up, the chef went looking for him โ ultimately saving his life. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.

A lesson I learned this year is that a person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can face about themselves without running away.
If you stay Sober long enough and work on your Recovery
There will come a time in your life when you don't want to drink, under any circumstance
I'm grateful to be in this place
