*Happy 21st Soberversary, Deano* my big beautiful brother!!! TWENTY ONE YEARS YOUNG 1Day@aTime, aye! Thank you so much for remembering how it was & sharing from those early days right through maturity to today, Dean. Thank you for adopting us, serving here & keeping MIP a safe space for all manner of fellowship to come & connect.

You've helped me in mentorship from my early days & helped to give me something I can pass on too. Thank you, Dean. May we be blessed with your coming back for some time yet ;) God bless you too, Dean. Have a riproaring awesome day from deep right down in your soul & all the way around for a fantastic 24hrs (even if I got a headstart!) Recovery love & respect, Danielle x

Growing up 18 was when I turned legal... now it is 21. So Dean once again you are "legal." lol

Anyway Dean, enjoy your day... to me you are a model of all that is good with MIP

What a blessing, 21 years!  You know, it was like three days later that it finally sunk in what you had said about your sobriety being old enough to drink, LOL. Not that I'm slow or nuthin'....anyway, enjoy this day that belongs to you and your HP, Dean.  hug, Chris

Thankyou to my sober family here.  I owe all of you for keeping me sober each day.  Today I'm going to a noon meeting and then Dianna and I are flying to NC for a week in the mountains.  What a gift of sobriety that is on so many levels, I'm humbled by it really. I'm also humbled by the work that is ahead of me, starting a new sober decade, which aligns with the calendar decade (nice and neat just like my birthday in '60 biggrin).  I again am also humbled by our local "Old timer's meeting" that just raised the bar and now considers "Old timers" to be those with 25 or more years.  My sponsor (who is celebrating 20 years this month) and I laughed at this desire for exclusivity in this already exclusive club (AA).  Someone needs to remind those folks that we are only sober today, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift and that is why it's called The Present. 
I love you all, my sober MIP Family.

Wow. Thanks, man. Thanks so much for all you do and congratulations. Your ES&H are so, so helpful to us newbies who still sometimes think that "there's no way I can make it through this without drinking!" and then we see someone who not only did, but has his own business and devotes a TON of time to MIP; the biggest 12 Step I've ever seen.

Peace,
Rob
