Enjoy your sobriety

     It was not my intention to become a drunk. It was not one of my life's goals but it happened. Before the addiction took over I did have a lot of fun but then things got out of hand. I have to be honest with myself, life became unmanageable.
   I had lost a part of myself to alcoholism. It controlled who I was and how I conducted my day. I did not want my sobriety to control me in the same way. I did not want to spend all my time focussing on my sobriety.
   While I was drinking all I thought about was how to maintain my drunk, to make sure I had all the things necessary to keep me high. It was exhausting, it was distractive and it was destructive.
   I don't want my sobriety to have the same effect. I don't want to focus all my attention and energy on keeping sober. 
   What we do at The Power Of Addiction is help you maintain your sobriety without your sobriety taking over your life.
   I recognize the fact that I am an alcoholic. I don't believe in the idea of a "recovered alcoholic".  To me that is a set up for failure. I accept the fact that I'm an alcoholic and I blend that idea into my daily life. 

      It is the living of my life that comes first.
