May 2019 – When we finally make the decision to get sober, it is often because we’ve reached a point where we know we can’t sustain our lives as they were.

We don’t know what the future holds, and we can be filled with extreme fear and uncertainty, but we know that we must make a change. Something has to give. We simply can’t keep going the way we’ve been going. We don’t know yet if we’ll ever be happy, but we know we at least have to try.

We’re afraid of asking for help because we hate the thought of being judged and looked down upon.
