Two years sober today!
Permalink  
 

Celebrating two years sobriety, today.

I have two home groups (being a good alcoholic I can't have "just one"), and apparently my Friday night group was expecting me to share last night for my anniversary (we celebrate home group anniversaries on the last Friday of the month).  Last year, that meant I celebrated in August.  This year, though, it didn't work out that way.  They found a fill-in speaker because I wanted to wait until I REALLY had my two years.  I'll celebrate with my other home group tomorrow night.  And I'll probably go to a meeting tonight (I don't usually go on Saturday) just for myself.

I know I have a long way to go, but I'm grateful to get up every day and not to have to struggle with alcohol.

Thanks to everyone here for helping me stay sober for another day.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone!

I don't normally go to a meeting Saturday night, but it just seemed like the place to be last night. So I went to one that I used to go to when I was doing my 90/90. This group meets at an AA clubhouse, and, like many clubhouse meetings, has a high number of people of people fresh out of rehab and folks whose "bottoms" tend to be on the lower end of the scale.

I recognized a couple of the regular members, including the woman who gave me my very first chip at my second meeting. (I hadn't wanted a "24-hour" chip at my first meeting because it hadn't been QUITE 24 hours since my last drink.) There were a few guys with decades-plus of sobriety that I know from other groups, who go there to be of service to the newcomers (and to keep themselves sober, of course).

Heard a speaker with a great message, though her story is about as different from mine as it could get. Still, when she talked about her drinking, I could relate.

I felt humble and grateful, something I haven't focused enough on, lately. I'm grateful for all of you who took a moment to encourage me to keep coming back.

Hi There Lexie,

Happy 2nd year, you bring so much good solid AA to our little round table talks.

Sorry I missed out yesterday, but sounds like you had a wonderful, humbling time......fantastic...

I love those clubs for the same reason, I call them sometimes the REAL meetings....they are all real, but you get what I mean...

Hugs and happy 2nd year...
