I just realized that I am approaching my 2,400 sober day-on Wednesday. I would never have thought about this but noticed the sober counter on my page here and thought wow- that's a lot of one day at a times!
How did I do it? Same as Day 1. I woke up & asked for help from God, went to a meeting, listened, shared my feelings, related- got my medicine for the day, talked to another alcoholic, thanked God and said good night only to do it all again the next day. I have been attending meetings 3-7 times a week. That's what I have had to do to keep me sober.
Simple program for complicated people- like me.
Easy? Hell? no, there have been days, even hours when I wanted to drink again BUT....I reached out to another AA member, prayed or went to a meeting- sometimes I had to do all three and you know what I know I am worth it today. I want to be sober more than I want to be drunk. I want to feel more than I want to be numb. I want to live more than I want to be dead or dying.
Thanks to the people here for helping me when I reached out, you rock! 
(love that head-banger dude)
I thank you for my sobriety! Thanks for being here so I can be here to!
Blessings to you,
Karie
