It's a great day to be sober. 7 years ago

Recovery

It's a great day to be sober. 7 years ago I vividly remember drinking straight from the bottle, hiding it in places I thought no one would find. And blackout every single day. I would be in the hospital every week and I'd be drunk again by the time my feet hit the floor. The month of August is the month at my worst and also the bravest month of my life. My sober date is coming up and like every year I reflect on August as my journey started. August almost ended my story, and also began my story.

Happy Birthday :balloon:
And it means we don’t forget we came from. Reflection is the catalyst in my life today that I do my very best to make a habit for me in my recovery. My disease wanted to kill me & it almost did dragging me back to NA/AA. Being in the rooms since I was 13 years old starting in 1985 i used to compare myself with “those people” the “yets” I hadn’t done at such an early age. Being 54 now I’ve definitely done most or all those yets. Thank you for your share & staying so others can find their way.
