Chris M. Says:

I was "sober" for 1-1/2 years when I thought I had lost everything to my disease. Then I started working on myself. I found out that through working a program and talking to trusted friends I may have lost a lot of material possessions, but that I had gained something more valuable. I found my Higher Power, and I found myself.

My first 18 months of sobriety was spent in anger, frustration and lonliness.


Now I am at peace, I have a vast wealth of friends, and most important, I have a relationship with my God, and with myself. I will be celebrating two years in February and I couldn't be happier with who I am today.
