About Jim C., Author of Sobriety Chronicles
My name is Jim C., author of www.sobrietychronicles.com, and today I am sober with more than fifty years of continuous sobriety, one day at a time. I created this journal and these essays to show that lasting sobriety is possible—and that no one has to walk this journey alone.
I took my last drink on May 10, 1976. At the time, I never thought I could face life without alcohol. I was wrong. I surrendered my life and my disease to a loving God and learned to live life to its fullest, one day at a time.
That last day of drinking became a turning point in my life. Along the journey, I discovered that recovery is not a single event. We practice recovery every day through the way we live, the choices we make, and the way we face life’s challenges.
