Mary Christine’s “One Sober Alcoholic” blog, is an intriguingly honest, first-person look at the day-to-day life of a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Mary Christine’s tag line reads, “I want to be able to talk about being a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous without anonymity concerns…”

One Sober Alcoholic has been around since late 2005 and Mary Christine’s dedication to her blog is obvious in its constant updates and sometimes shockingly personal accounts of her life.

“My ‘trouble’ daughter, who I love with all of my heart, is sober. She has a homegroup – on the other side of town where I got sober.” Writes Mary Christine while giving an update on her daughters. “She is attending meetings every day with a man who is sober 36 years and was my boyfriend for 10 years.  She tells me about the people she sees who tell her to say hi to me. Because they have been around that long. Oh thank God! She refuses to count how many days or months because she has done this so many times.   (She had over 2 years of clean and sober time at one time, and has had years of time off meth when she drank like an uncontrolled maniac – which on her is actually worse.” 

Mary Christine goes on to write, “It always cracked me up when people would say ‘at least she isn’t using drugs,’ it indicated to me that they had never seen alcoholism up close and personal.)  I hope that some day she will get some faith in the process and claim her time, but she is not there yet.”
