"I didn't drink, and an amazing thing happened. It all began to pass. The clouds lifted. Things cleared. I began sleeping through the night. I began to feel that I was healing. I had good days. I became interested in life again...I fell in love. I found myself in a relationship that meant the world to me."

Final Thought:

"The most powerful lesson I have learned is that it all happens inside me. My perception of any situation is in my control - I have a choice about which way my mind will react. I try my best to look for positive solutions; I take my problems to my sponsor or I let my friends at a meeting know what was going on inside me."
