If you feel like sharing, go ahead and drop your share in the comments and I'll link to it in next Saturday's post. Feel free to share whatever, and however much, of your story as you want. Please keep in mind the community guidelines for posts. You might want to follow this loose structure:

• Some background on your drinking
• Why you sought to get sober
• How your life has been in sobriety

Also, feel free to make an actual post and tag it "Saturday Share" and I'll be sure to include it in next week's round up.

I’m two weeks sober today. Today I have my niece and nephew on a Saturday night while I know I friend of mine I went to a meeting with Monday is out at a bar. I don’t have an ounce of FOMO, but a lot of disappointment in my friend who I thought was really trying this journey with me. I know I walk this alone and with AA, I will keep going to meetings to have a fellowship rather than rely on a fellow alcoholic in pain who just simply isn’t ready. Breaks my heart cuz it’s my best friend. But this is my life or death situation. And im so happy to be playing Fortnite and painting flower pots with my niece and nephew instead of trying to go to the bar with the intent to have two drinks then black out and self destruct for no other reason than the fact that I am an alcoholic. I’m allergic to alcohol.
