The long road

The long road to sobriety travels through recovery.  I was there for several years becoming aquainted with myself.  Alcohol never allowed me to get to know myself.  I finally got a glimpse of myself when I put the bottle down for good.  For a long time I did not like what I saw.  But it was necessary to see what alcohol had done to me.  Overtime, I got to know myself and eventually I began to like what I saw.  This is when the desire to drink started to finally diminish.  Giving up alcohol is damn hard.  Dying a drunk is worse!
