I am a 52 year old man who on 10-11-15 gave himself the best gift anyone could ever receive, sobriety. I have come to find out that alcoholism is a DISEASE that many people suffer from, but can be treated, not cured if we have the desire to stop drinking and take that first step into an AA meeting. Since being sober I have had some significant events happen that if I was still drinking I am sure the alcohol would have killed me. I have chosen to turn my will and my life over to the care of a higher power who I choose to call God. Yes I still have pain and struggles this is what is called life. I have just learned how to cope with them in an easier softer way, thy will be done. And reading Significance In Simple Moments has confirmed this. My motto each day is “I am reasonably happy today” I am this way if I continue to wake up each day sober. I have a wonderful support group of family and friends that make all things right.. I know if I do the next right thing then I am on a path that will continue to make me the good person I know I am. I could go on forever but in a nut shell this is my story. If you live life today and not worry about tomorrow you too can be reasonably happy today. God speed.
