Made it through a rough patch.
Hey gang I wanted to share about my recent experience.
I am about 5 years sober now and most of it has been very good. But recently I've had some dissapointments in my life that really sent me into a tailspin. I could feel a blanket of self pity and resentment come over me and I was amazed that I suddenly had the desire to throw it all away and drink. I could hardly function at work and was having what seemed like panic attacks. But I still made it to some meetings and prayed and asked for help from god. I talked with my sponser and friends but it still took a while to pass.
Sometimes being sober can be incredibly painfull, but to drink would bring on devistating results. I believe in this program even more now and I truly believe that God is with us when we really need him.
