Yes, Still Sober and Alive and...kickin'

So I have been trying to just get by in my life...

Alive and kicking, so they say...

Doing my job, eating, breathing, going to the grocery store, seems like boring stuff to most, but to me it's just holding on to the sanity of sobriety.

People feel they need to know something more...I do.
Why is it so much of a struggle to get where I do.  
To do my daily shit and just fucking get through one damned day...why should it be so damned hard?

Guess fucking what? If you don't get it, you are not an alcoholic.  You don't get it cuz you aren't what we are. 

Sorry, not trying to exclude you, but you just "never gonna get it".

And Life goes on.............♥ ♥ ♥

Another Sober Saturday

It was so dark and cold all day today, but I really enjoyed a day off.  

I haven't really written much, but I would really like to make more of an effort.  My intention in blogging was to hopefully let someone out there see that there's hope for anyone who is sick and tired of a life of being a slave to the bottle.

So, in case you didn't already know, I have a facebook page.

If you are more of a Twitter person, I am also on Twitter @A_Saving_Grace

I have an e-mail too, so if you prefer, I am at DrunkDiaries@hotmail.com

I had a nice talk with my son today.  He is really excited and sounds so happy to be reconnecting with his friends here in town.  

I haven't been going to meetings much lately and having him around makes me want to set the example, so I guess that's a good thing.

I know I jumped in my blog from the getting sober part to present day, and I will get back to that.  I just thought that you should know that as you progress in your sobriety, things do get back to normal and you can be an asset to others.

When I first got sober, I wondered what I could ever have to say that would benefit another person?  The truth is, you never know.  

When I go to a meeting, I may share, and after the meeting someone comes up to me and thanks me for my share.  Funny thing is, even now, I don't really remember what I said.  That's God, speaking through me, telling someone just what they need to hear.

Pretty fucking cool, eh?

Have a good night. ♪ ♫ ♪

I'm Still Here

I am still sober.  I haven't written for a few weeks, but I wanted you to know...I haven't fallen off the map.  Work, home life, "me time", family troubles...it's a tightrope sometimes, a balancing act.

I have passed on my disease to my child, and have been concerned with his well-being.  I am glad that I am in a position to be present and supportive of him.  I thank God for that.  

I also thank God for my wonderful boyfriend, who has taken to my son, and is a great mentor for him as well.  And is always there for me, to remind me what a great mom I am - because I wasn't always.

To anyone who is new in sobriety, it does get better, and you get the gifts over and over as time goes on. 

Tomorrow, I get to just hang out with my son and enjoy a beautiful day...


Keep coming back.
