What a Year!

Tuesday September 28 I will be one year sober! Alcoholism to me is my #1 disease. Unlike the Multiple Sclerosis, the Alcoholism is a fatal disease. This is why I put it as #1 priority in my life. Its beacause of my sobriety that I have been able to accept my MS with an open mind of optimism. If I had still been drinking back in May when I had my first flair I definately would not have gone to the Opthamologist. I would have totally brushed it off. Maybe even thinking it was a hangover or something. I would not have known, therefore not getting on treatment like I did. So who knows how things would be. I could very well be in a wheel chair???
But for the Grace of God, my Billy, & wonderful sober friends, I am here, I am sober, I am taking care of myself, & I've never been happier in my entire life!!!

When I found out my diagnosis of MS at 8 months sober, the thought of a drink didnt even cross my mind. That is a gift!!!!
