Sobriety check
Jul. 26th, 2008 02:04 pmToday is the 17th anniversary of the day I stopped drinking.
17 years ago today, I walked...well, was pushed...into rehab, and walked out 30 days later, clearheaded for the first time in about ten years, with the desire not to drink that day. That desire has been maintained, one day at a time, through the all-forgiving grace of God and the help of a 12-step program, for the past 6,205 days.
Well, plus a few extra days for the Leap Years, but who's counting?
Thanks be to God. And thanks be to Bill W. and all the other sober alcoholics who came before me. Couldn't have done it without you.
