people often ask about my life in recovery. the most common questions include:
do you go to a meeting everyday?
nope. i try to help one person and call my sponsor (who is just a friend), but other than that, my program looks different every day...
don't you feel like your life is over?
nope. my life is just beginning. i can go anywhere, do anything, and meet anyone - i have no limits. before my life was contained with in the four walls of a bar or a bedroom.
do you tell people you are sober? if they want to know. a lot of people can't handle it.
do you think this is permanent? i take it day by day.
seems like a lot of trouble- why do this?
because death is a scary alternative...and yes, i was really that bad. a good quote sums this up:
They say there are no 'musts' in AA, that it's a 'suggested program'. That's right. The same way that when you jump out of a plane, it's suggested you take a parachute. ~unknown
