God certainly did what I could not do for myself⦠100 days sober today and I couldnāt be more grateful. Today, I recover loudly, so others donāt die quietly.
This journey has been the hardest but most worth it thing I have ever done. Just 7 months ago, I knew my drinking was a problem but I wouldāve never called it an addiction. Until God sent some pretty amazing people into my life.
Last September, God sent someone into my life who called it out on me over a three day period, then convinced me to go to a retreat she was leading. I decided to go to that retreat, but didnāt realize what was about to happen. As I was driving there I started to feel sick and soon realized that without alcohol in my body I would go into withdrawal within about nine hours. The entire weekend I was scared, sick or drunk. then the person who invited me to the retreat noticed, took care of me and loved me throughout the weekend. As I said goodbye to her she took my hands and told me to go to AA as that was what she did.
Not much longer, I walked myself into a room of other alcoholics terrified out of my damn mind. And that started a long journey of eight months of trying sobriety, failing, relapsing, finding a sponsor, starting to work a program struggling immensely, then leaving school early to go into treatment.
today Iām 100 days sober which is the longest it has ever been for me since hs. I started a new job which I love, got a kitten, and moved into my first apartment and I finally decided to take a little bit off of school to focus on recovery.
I saw the woman who told me about AA for the first time 7 months after the retreat, this what she told me as a piece of advise she had for me to stay sober: āTo go with Jesus in every part of your life and to allow him to uncover The places that are hurting and in pain, cuz thatās why we do what we do, but when we can receive his goodness, and his kindness, and his truth - thatās what transforms us, so you stay close to him and let him lead you.ā
I love this new life of mine and the best has yet to comeā¦
