Hope

What I can always see on my worst day of sobriety is tomorrow.  And with tomorrow comes hope! 

The power of prayer

What appeared to be the final moments of my life turned out to be the start of something big.  That big I am referring to is sobriety and it was the power of prayer that got me going! 

Step up

Making the best decision on the worst day of my life is why I am here now.

New site

Healing

Recovery is healing and healing can begin at anytime.  Healing hurts, healing is necessary, healing is what will lead you to permanent sobriety.  For me healing began when I got down on my knees and pleaded with God to take away my insane desire to always be drunk.

I've said this before

Quitting drinking is the hardest thing you will ever do.  The only thing harder is dying a drunk! 

In the drivers seat

When I totally depended on alcohol it was like tossing the car keys to the bottle.  Alcohol was in the drivers seat.  It took me wherever it wanted to go.  No matter what the outcome was, alcohol was in charge for a long, long time.  When I finally decided to leave alcohol in the rear view mirror life was tough.  I had to learn how to think, act, react and survive all without the aid of the substance which nearly caused me a fatal crash.
