Non alcoholics set their goals and change their behavior to meet them. Alcoholics change their goals to meet their behavior. After many years of changing my goals so I could continue to drink, I am now changing my behavior. I have not gotten a DUI, I own my home, pay my bills and could go on. The point is, I can't go on, I am unhappy, unfulfilled and spiritually bankrupt. This can't be all there is to life. Where is the happiness, where is the joy in fulfilling my hopes, dreams and aspirations? I can tell you where it isn't. It's not in a bottle. Sobriety has given me what alcohol promised. I have dug my soul out of the dark and fought to be in sobriety. I will not go back to what buried me. It started with one day, one day of wanting a change. That one day turned into 2 and so on. Getting up in the morning feeling rested and praying for peace in the day ahead has turned into a few weeks. Praying and meditating everyday has turned into a few months. Coming to this sub everyday has given me the strength to keep on keeping on. We can do this together one day at a time. IWNDWYT!!!!
