Out of control

As stated before my name is Zeph and I’m an alcoholic. Most of my time spent saying that since I first entered the rooms was lip service. It didn’t matter how frequently I said it though, it was only just to belong to a group of people.

Then I started doing the work with a sponsor recently. First task? Write out my step one. Just how unmanageable my life was I just didn’t buy in all the way. Looking back on it now in earnest though, my life was quite unmanageable. I was drinking in volume every day. I was drinking on the clock. I was driving drunk (only once, but still).

Today my life is different since taking on recovery whole hog. I’m not in as dire straits financially. Still in straits, but not dire. I have a group of people in my life who support me no matter what. I’m at a job I still love despite many seismic changes. I still have the same car I bought off the lot despite it being 17 years old. I have the money to maintain said car.

I can’t help, but think the promises are starting to think about coming true for me. It’s a bit overwhelming to think about things going right, but today it’s a possibility that things will go right for me. I’m holding that potential close.
