6 months sober! -@SoberMovement
6 months ago I could not imagine the life I have today. I was miserable and made everyone around me miserable through my drinking for the last 15 years. I was full of anger, self pity & selfishness. Today I am much kinder & less self-seeking. Sobriety saved my ...MORE

From rock bottom to nurse – @SoberMovement

Do you want to talk about this cocaine? – @SoberMovement
Um, no. I’m very much your typical addict. Me, before you. Where’s mine and can I have some of yours? I did meth and coke to stay up and used liquor to bring me down. I was in complete control of my life, or so I thought. My wife found my ...MORE

Freedom and Sobriety – @SoberMovement
I would like to say a word or two about rock bottom. I think that a lot of people don't seek help because mainstream society advertises rock bottom as waking up in jail, detox, bathroom floors, a ditch, or wrecking a car, losing jobs, relationships.... been there, done that, ...MORE
