I am still here and I am still sober. I am a few days away from reaching 17 years without a drink! It was a painful process that wasn't always easy. But I cannot imagine how painful it would be if I were still drinking. I went from drunkenness to recovery to permanent sobriety. Stick around and I will share with you my story. Not the drunken one, but rather the one which took me away from alcohol permanently.
