Sober Steve describes himself…
“On November 28, 2006, I started a new journey in my life. For the first time in over twenty years I walk down a sober path. A path I have found lit by others before me. This is my journey down this path. Thanks for the encouragement from others to start this blog. Hope you enjoy it, and keep coming back.”
Below is an excerpt from his blog…
Its been over 11 months since I last drank anything. But why can I still lust after its taste and desire it touch on my lips. Its because I’m an alcoholic who keeps the self talk up. This week I’m in Portland Or. I drove through the mountains on Sun it was great. Sight seeing all the colors against the snowy mountain tops. This was some thing I would never do when drinking. I would be like the est of the people here. Heading right to the bar. But for me stopping after one or two is not possible. I went out and explored. Looked at nature. Looked at myself who I am today. I am special and loved for whom I am today. I still might be hated by others for who I was in the past, but I still can not make them forgive me, or go back and change what I did.
So, today I sit in a hotel alone in Oregon. Knowing that if for any reason I would not be around tomorrow I am comforted in the fact that I did not hurt anyone today. In fact I could consider myself lucky to make it today. This morning was a bad morning. I started it over and its OK! I didn’t drink I didn’t beat myself up for wanting a drink last night. Thought of what I needed to do to fix the problem. The problem is that, nothing.. The old stinking thinking just wanted to point out that i was different, So what…
Gotta run… Going for a drive. A drive SOBER in this great city
Peace
hugs and Kisses
StevePS…If you beat yourself up, you lose the chance to do something great!!!!
