sobriety is more about learning to live than stopping the use of chemicals. once the substance abuse is stopped...then the real journey begins. it is not always fun, looking inward, and then trying to deal with every day things that normal people deal with every day...just simple things are not really easy for the alcoholic and addict. i drank and used off and on for a very long time; it is said that emotional maturity stops when one is in addiction...so besides learning how to live life, one is faced with growing up...in front of others usually. cannot get side-tracked though...must remember that this is one day at a time...there is no easier softer way, than just taking the 12 steps...it is not easy...in fact facing oneself can be very difficult...but one day at a time, if you just do not use, things will get better. before you know it...you have over a year...now that is amazing!
