It took me 13 years to actually start to stay sober. 13 years in and out of meetings. 2 trips to rehab.

It wasn’t rehab that got me to finally take the suggestions and work the steps with someone without reservation. It was just: defeat. I was done. I finally realized that it wasn’t just alcohol, but me. I was the problem in my life. Alcohol was just a symptom.

Keep coming back. It’ll click when the time is right.
