My Thoughts On Being Sober 11 Years | Episode 253

Today’s episode is going to be special. I’m going to share my thoughts about being sober for 11 years. This episode might not be for everyone. And that’s ok. I think there are some things in here for everyone but I’m not a puritant. Everyone doesn’t have to be sober. For me, this is the best choice. 

I share something in today’s episode I have never talked about in previous episodes or on the blog. The beginning of my sobriety began with my arrest for DUI, which pointed out how off-track I had gotten. 

I was pretty mad and embarrassed at first, but I grew to see being arrested as a blessing. Without becoming sober I would have never got with my wife and never had my kids. Hell, I might not even be here. 

There are a lot of health benefits to becoming sober as well. Weight loss is a lot easier when you aren’t drinking a case of beer every day. I only briefly touch on the health issues today and focus on my journey. 

So in the end this isn’t for everyone but maybe it is for you.

One Year Sober Today

Not yet technically. In an hour and a half I will be 1 year sober. By the time you read this though I will be. I’m writing this to share my journey with all of you. My name is James and I am an alcoholic.  Even now that I’m sober. I am and always will be. Every day I don’t drink is a blessing. Which is in itself a new concept to me. A year ago I was not walking the path I was meant to walk. Hell I was way off in the weeds. Though I still have miles to go I am at least on the path. The year has been hard. I have been in the grip of temptation. Door’s have also been opened. Results gained. Friends made. What does this have to do with Survival you ask? Everything.
