There is hope in sobriety

First off, I had no hope at all.  I am only  two months sober but my hope is really strong.  I feel much better mentally and physically.  I know that if I stay sober life will be better, happier, and more fulfilling.  I can say that I have faith in what this program can do. Family will continue to get closer and closer to me as I continue to spiritual quest.  I hope that my family will understand that I am sick and I need to continue to grow.  I hope that I can keep on this road to sobriety.  It takes time to get there and it won’t happen in six months or a year.  I know I will have a clear mind and continue to grow in every way.

I hope that my friends can understand that I have a problem and support me.  If not I am going to have to make new friends.  I am very happy and understand my higher power.  I have faith and hope that I can do it this time.  It’s not fun and joy all the time, there are bad days you can’t get up on your high horse or else you will fall.  I am trying to have more hope in my life about this whole sobriety thing.  The fog is clearing and I can understand that it’s not going to get better unless I put in the work for it to get better.  I hope when I leave here I can have the family relationship that I want.

I hope that sobriety will be able to help me hold a job and be able to be happy and love life to the fullest.  I am starting to see the light but  just a beam.  I hope to have a nice family and be able to support them and make on from all this.  I hope that sobriety will help me through this legal stuff.   Sobriety is scary and it is hard to change everything that I knew and how to survive in that kind of environment.  Sobriety is a whole new way of life.  It is a new way of thinking, a new way of living that is really hard to change that.  Through this journey of mine it was very hard to turn  over my will to something greater than me.

I hope that my connection with my higher power continues to grow.  I hope that after all of this I can be able to function without drugs.  I know if I continue with back to basics I will be able to.  I know I will find myself and be able to get a year and continue to get more and more spiritually in touch with myself. I would like to get back with  my family and be able to show them that I want to be part of them.  That is going to take work but I am willing to put in that work.
