Today I have six months of continuous sobriety for the 4th
time since I went to rehab 14 years ago.
I have had 5 years, almost a year and almost 7 years in the previous spells
of sobriety. I learned vital lessons from
each of the ensuing relapses.
The lessons from the last relapse include: how absolutely lifevital
healthy relationships with friend and others are in my life; the need to be
more open and honest by not telling
lies of omission—I am only as sick as my secrets no matter how big or small;
and the need to work directly with others instead of isolating at home behind
my keyboard pretending that is enough service work to keep my sober.
I am grateful to be sober today with the best relationships with others
that I have ever had in my life. God, Karen,
Leslee, Charlie, Sandy, Toni, Lea and others all help me to find a pleasant
sense of place in my relationships in my world.
