My emotions are everwhere and I feel miserable. I keep telling my self I did not get sober to be miserable. Where is the reward the gratification. The insanity of it all is that at times I'll still reference drinking as those were better times. Nevertheless I continue to focus on the positive examples of ones that have conquered this disease.

I became one with my disease and sensed that I was on deaths doorway. Alcohol whipped me to a state of reasonableness and all I could do was pray for help. That moment is forever engrained in my consciousness, not because I am reliving the past but because the natural state of my spirit is to be one with, to be connected, united with universal spirit and the flow, dynamics of the great perfection. My spirituality is based on what I feel and not much of what I think. Surrender, is a state of being that I had never experienced until I became totally engulfed with fear.
