Day 5 Feeling Flat But Sober

There is a big difference between being DRY and being SOBER. Without the 12 steps, I am dry: I am white knuckling abstinence; struggling not to drink; feeling flat; fighting the bottle; imprisoned. With the 12 steps, I am easy going; free; not fighting; not struggling; truly sober. What do you want to be, dry or sober?

Clean you are so right! I fought the program for so many years. When I was finally truly sick and tired I got a sponsor and started working the steps. Such a wonderful Choice I made! Why didn't I do this sooner?!?! My ex husband used to say AA was a cult. What I say now is I'd rather drink the AA koolaid than the shit I was drinking and using before. God bless!
