HELO THIS WAS MY LIFE

Amazing story mario. Once a few months ago I hit my wife when blind drunk and awoke unable to remember doing it. I hated myself the day after and in many moments since. But it was my wake up call to get off the drink. She has been understanding and forgiving knowing how out of character it was and that I would have done had I not been legless but the guilt has been terrible. When I think of it I still shudder. To drink would be to allow the possibility of it happening again and I can never allow that. This is how something clicked in my head.

Well this year has so far being a really great memorable one

First on jan 13th 2010 i was one year pure alcohol free,and even better in my mind i still have that determination never to drink alcohol again,I am living & having a great life,its brill.

second on the 29th jan 2010 my first granddaughter was born,Ava.its hard for me to explain them emotions & feelings but let me say they are all good.

And i well know that i would not have enjoyed the birth of my granddaughter as much if i had not achieved being sober,it feels great to live an alcohol free life.rock on everybody

Today is another milestone in my battle with alcohol,Today i finish a twelve month after care course which included a personal development course,it has been another great tool that has helped me in this fight,i hope to go on to another group which is just basically about having some other people like myself to talk & help each other,i also applied to do addiction/counselling studies in college,let you all know in a month how it went,So far my battle against alcohol has all been positive and forward moving,recommend a alcohol free life to anyone,dont wait till tomorrow, start to live your life today.:-)
