Alcohol sobriety is the goal no drugs or drugs or alcohol live happily ever after life is hard no matter what happens when you’re on drugs and alcohol I’m pretty sure it’s harder so as I continue to fight and continue my goal of continuing the steps following the program, reach reaching out and talking about what I did and how to do it better so I never go backwards

Where are the hardest things I’ve ever recognized in life is being sober isn’t as bad as just living life but when you’re drunk and on drugs, it makes life, miserable and hard and lonely sober life is still hard. I’m still still lonely, but at least I’m not killing myself. I guess you have to find out the trade-off that’s why I keep going and that’s why I keep living and I will always follow my program.

Things that are worth anything are always hard. That’s why I have to keep going you keep wanting to keep trying to keep being positive you keep fighting and never pray to God for strength. Pray to God to take reigns and show you the way let me know what you think. What’s going on. Talk to me.
