If you are new to sobriety, congratulations. It will be a journey filled with wonderful life events.  However, when I became newly sober I had to face many problems that I created while drinking. Upon completing my final stay a rehab I came back to town to find I no longer had  my own home. I had a standoff with the police at  which time I caused a lot of destruction to my apartment and i was not allowed to return. Luckily, family took me in. I also found myself without a job. I had been placed on medical leave but that exhausted and I was let go. As you can imagine, I had no money as well. During this time in early sobriety  I was forced to sell my vehicle to survive financially since I had accrued large credit card debt. And lastly I had burned many bridges with people, that I hardly had anyone to turn to except some family that I am very grateful. for………..Why am I telling you all this? I just want you to know that difficult things happen while in sobriety and especially in early sobriety. The key message here is that one does not have to drink over the hardships. I feel that they can be overcome by anyone in time.  Stay strong an continue to stay sober because the good things to come will be far greater than early hardships. My wish for anyone newly sober is that they continue to have faith that God can and will protect you from taking that drink no matter what is going on in ones life.. May God  bless you on your journey.
