Today marks 18 years ... please don't light a match

When I opened my eyes this morning, I realized I have been sober for 18 continuous years.

This is a record for me. In fact every day is record. There is truth in the saying "One Day at a Time". In fact it took me 6575 days to get to this point in time.

I wasn't sure if I should post this tidbit of information about my life. November 9, 1990 was a special day. On that day a friend on my confronted me at work about my drinking. That lead to seeing the Human Resources Department, then going to see a Addictions Councilor and then to treatment at Pine Lodge in Indian Head. What a ride it has been so far. I thank my Program, I thank the Big Guy and I thank my "A". Without these powers in my life, there is a good chance I would not be around to post this little fact.

I hope that anyone reading this post will find a little bit of comfort and strength in my journey. Please know that "It is Possible"; what ever "It" may be.

Today I am very Grateful.
