I am alive and happy

I am what some call a one nighter. I went to meetings before getting sober but have only been detoxed once and have gone to meetings sober ever since.  I have been sober  over 6 years now.  It some ways it has been easy for I always thought  of my self as alcoholic. From my very early days of drinking I thought I was alcoholic. I also thought I would be fine.

The point I am making is when it came time to change and get help I did not struggle  with whether I needed it or not.  There was never a question of could I get  better and drink again. Being an alcoholic and believing I was one came easy to me. Choosing life or death seemed to be a simple problem with straight forward answer. Yes you are an alcoholic and you can not live this way any more, 

Thankfully there was a place to be and go. A place for me to share and grow. Though I knew for sure I was alcoholic , I was not sure how to transition and  live a sober life. Thank God for AA
