Clean & Sober 13 years today!

#1 Postby Windsong » Sun Oct 15, 2006 12:47 pm

Today is my soberity birthday! 13 years with nothing stronger than an asprin. Life is sweet! This is a HUGE milestone for me because the first time I got sober, I went back out after 12 and a half years.

Recovery is a wonderful journey and it just keeps getting better. I am sharing this not so much to brag (okay, just a little) as much as to carry a message of hope to those of you who may be sick and suffering.

Far out!!!! Keep coming back. Don't let your long term sobriety allow you to slow down on meetings. It's the old timers that give hope to the newcomer. If you ever care to share online, I would welcome your email.
