2 year anniversary!

I woke up this morning with not so much of a feeling of celebration but of gratitude.  I was remembering where I was 2 years ago....jail.  I had been arrested for my 2nd D.UI.  I was so humiliated and was wondering just what I was going to do to get myself out of this one.  Well little did I know that I was in for the ride of my life to get sober.  Getting sober for me has really been a gentle experience.  I know not many can say that.  I had no idea I was an alcoholic.  (everyone else did)  But as I was told to go to 90 meetings in 90 days little did I know that it was a beginning of a new life.  I thought wow why so many meeting and everyday!   But I know now, that is what it takes to have the AA steps sink in.  I was so amazed when thinks really started to sink in and make sence.  I worry that the new comers won't stay long enough to let the program sink in.  I relize now that I truly had to start thinking a new way.  To open myself and listen and give new thought a chance.  I couldn't believe all the emails to congratulate me from this forum!  Thank you all for your kind notes.  The fellowship of AA is truly life saving, loving and I am truly grateful for all of you.  Funny how I just couldn't wait for my 1 year coin.  Now I live today just like yesterday......one day at a time.

Thanks so much for this post Susie! And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I did the same thing to start my AA journey. Over 90 meetings in 90 days...Had a sponsor I called every day...These things are so important for people to hear that are struggling. Surrender to win!

Hi There Susie,

Happy Sober Birthday to you!

Thanks for your Post, could sure relate to your feelings of Gratitude rather than Celebration.....

Sometimes I think that HP, whom I choose to call God today might just possibly hang out in those cold, damp, grey, dark and cold floors of the Jails......so many Miracles seem to have a birthplace there. so happy for you today...

In Gratitude with you my friend.

2-Year Anniversary Medallion            
WOOHOO HAPPY MAJOR DECISIONS GIRL!!

For anyone who doesn't understand this, when I got my 2 years in a member wrote this in my card and I loved it.  Over here, we say it is wise not to make any major decisions in the first two years in recovery.  So now I could make as many major decisions as I wished to - only I didn't take any notice of this good advice, and got myself into a pickle by not listening. biggrin
