sobriety and 12 step programs. Do the work? Today I am celebrating the 41st anniversary since my Last drink, or snort. When I was drinking, smoking, snorting, I was broke, living in a dump apartment, driving junk cars and relying on food stamps, Medicaid and food banks. Within 60 days of my last Drink, Snort, hit, and cigarettes. I felt 100 percent better, alive and feeling like I could do anything. I started my own business repairing computers. Working out of my home. Within 1 year I was able to borrow the money to purchase A building that had a retail store and 5 apartments. In the next 5 years I purchased The house behind me, A 5 unit apartment building, With a restaurant. I could go on. But you should be getting the point without me sounding like I am bragging. I did NOT accomplish any of this on my own. Step one, I started going to a ACOA Meetings Without this I doubt I would be Sober today and more importantly, RICH, and RETIARED at the ripe old age of 50. It all starts with one BIG Step. Admitting to yourself that you have a problem.... Then getting the help and support you need to make it work. Sure not everyone makes it the first time, second time or even more. But you can make it, and when you do, you will not even know it. You will be clean sober and have things you never thought you would or could. A happy family, great friends that are real. Not part of your addiction. You will not ever realize that each and every day, you are doing better in every aspect your life. Your family starts to feel right, feel good, you are closer to your spouse, Children and new sober friends. Yes you will be able to sit with your friends in a restaurant and watch them order a drink and drink it in front of you. Yes it may trigger old memory's, but the urge to take a drink or snort, ect will pass very quickly, then on day the urges are gone. Not forgotten, and still there, only you will have the control, not the addiction. That will be on of the best feelings in your life. You will realize your have a great family and life is pretty good, even with the bad times. You will be able to handle whatever is thrown at you. Then one day it all just works, without you having to think about it. You just do not want it, need it or have to hide from it. You will realize how great your sober life really is. and never look back again........ YOU CAN DO IT
