Celebrating your 14 years, Jim. Thanks for this reminder of what it was like...etc. Me: I go to the dentist on Valentine's Day. That must mean something. Celebrating 44 years on the 20th of the month. ODAT

14 years, day by day, only you know your story.

I’m now 1 year and 8 months sober, and it is so true how easy can be all over if one wrong decision is made. For some reason I feel like somebody up there has given me the opportunity to do lot of things I did in the past but with different eyes now, it’s funny because it is not just situations, it’s also people with similar characteristics in a different suit. Alcohol was my strength and courage to go out and do my things, but like I said IT WAS. I’ve found a new version of me and still working on it, journey is going pretty well, somehow harder but definitely there’s some beauty in it.

En fin

Thank you for sharing

Cheers 🥛

Thank you, CC. This means a lot. You are a great example of what a sober life can be. I see all the things you do and admire the way you put yourself out there in the world.
