At three months sober, Matt's wife asked, "So how long are you going to keep going to these meetings?"
"Uh-Oh."
There is no cure for alcoholism. There is only a daily reprieve. We need to find ways to continually treat our illness. For people like Steve and Matt, that's 12 step meetings. For you, it might be something else as no one has a monopoly on sobriety.
So why do we keep going? In this podcast, we talk about the need to stay connected to the fellowship and others with the same affliction and the need to teach the newcomer how we did it, so they can stay sober too.
Congratulations to John I who has 33 years sober!
