Brought this over from my diary,

Thank You guys I appreciate each of you

1 year ago I had my last drink, I was feeling down and decided to go for a big bender.
Out of that drunk came sobriety. On that day drinking was no longer able to give me anything, so I said "when"

A decision , born of fear and helplessness, anger and frustration, self imposed exile, has changed my life

I am a story of a person looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger. The reflection was no longer mine but that of a person consumed with consuming alcohol, a person unable to share or care about anything or anyone.

That was then, the reflection now is me, a person that is alive, living, no longer hiding behind the fog. I face things as they arise and can honestly say that I am happy. Everything does not always work as planned but I no longer regret yesterday and always look forward to tomorrow as another opportunity for good things to happen.

My life today includes love and friendship and I do not fear anymore that those close to me will find out I am a drunk, because I no longer am. I held back so much, letting alcohol be the ruler of my life. I am free, I am alive. I don't have the words to describe what I feel each day when I say "why not" instead of "I can not"

I thank this place and my friends here, you all have helped me to learn more about myself and my quit. I come here each day and continue to gain strength and understanding from you all. I have no illusions of a battle won, it took half a lifetime to quit drinking, but after a year without a drop I feel it is a fight that can be won with diligence and an open mind.

My life , My quit, and the words from all of you have helped it keep going and work. I hope you know that, and if I have not told you so, please know that it is true.

Last year for my birthday I gave myself a chance to live. My name , "Want to Live" was chosen because that was all I wanted that night one year ago, a birthday wish that has come true. Today I get a birthday present of a years sobriety.

September 16th is a happy day for me and I hope you will find reasons in that day to make you Want to Live as well and smile at the chances we all have of a future full of the things dreams are made of and free from drinking

Peace to you all
