The road

The road to sobriety starts in recovery.  I spent about 90 days in a treatment center and halfway house.  However, I spent about 4 years in recovery.  Recovery is a frame of mind.  It is what you have to go through to ultimately stay away from the bottle permanently.  Recovery is all about becoming acquainted with who you were before your first drink.  It is about picking up the pieces and moving on.  It is about tears, fear and leaving behind all of your anger.  Recovery is tough and gruelling.  But a well worked recovery will take you to a place so sober that alcohol has no place to hide, exist or tempt.
