6,673 DAYS AGO TODAY..CHANGE
18 YEARS AGO TODAY ..
I took back control of my life..
I repost the words I wrote some years back in hopes that the words might encourage those who need help and also persuade those with happy and healthy lives to steer those in their lives who need help to seek it out.
The Demons of Addiction ruin lives each and every minute of each and every day.
The National news of late concerning athletes and actors involved with drugs and alcohol is a front page account of what happens when alcohol and or drugs control our thought process.
These people who kill or are killed could just as easy be our sons,daughters,wives or husbands..They could be the next door friend of twenty years who for years has meant no harm but drives home from the bar 2 nights a week while legally over the limit...and one night he ruins the lives of others and his or her own.
All this ruin comes from not facing The Demons.
Below is a little of my story..I hope all who have opened this thread will read this for the first time or re-read it again.
for those who can still enjoy drinks and or cold ones and still live that healthy life I say hurray..How fortunate you are.I would ask that you remember this on each occasion that you choose to consume.And on those days continue to be aware of your safety and the safety of your loved ones,friends and all those around you.
Furthermore I would ask that who look out for those who consume to much and take the appropriate
action so as they not hurt themselves or others in a needless accident that can mean the loss of life.
Have a safe and happy holiday and be sure to hug the ones ya love..
next thing ya know you are 64 years old and you want to know how in the heck did the time pass by so quickly..
we have several members who chose to change their lives for the better and to you I say...:00hour :00hour :00hour :00hour
for those who read this and truly want to regain control of your life ...My e-mail is available from admin. upon request.
I take one day at a time while being accountable and responsible for my actions ..by doing so my life will continue on this glorious journey..
I made my mama proud..It don't get no better than that.
I will share all I know to help all who wish to take back the same control.
I add this with the hope I don't come off as if on a soap box.But the words are as true and pure as those first spoken by an infant.
Life is much better when you have control of it..
My hope is that at least one person will read the above and take those all important first steps to a sober and meaningful life.
Many thanks to those here who inspire me everyday.Your generosity and kindness to fellow members and their friends who fall on unfortunate times is a living example of what good we can all do when we are in control of our lives.
Again I beg each and everyone of you to be extra careful this holiday season.Please don't hesitate to suggest a cab or a ride home to someone you know who has no sense behind the wheel of a vehicle.

a million thanks for this place to kick the feet up on the desk and hang out.The importance that it has had on my sobriety and well being can not be understated.
"Happy Holidays".....
