Thanks for 22 Years

Yesterday... I didn't get a chance to post, was out all day with my daughter and ended up at a meeting to announce it - far from home.

I used to have sort of a diary/journal in my early sobriety, and I used to write in it on my sobriety date and go re-read what I had written before.  I haven't looked at it in a long time, not sure when I last wrote in it.  Last time I looked, I was amazed all over again at how much had changed, and what seemed most important to me at the time.  It's funny though, even now I find myself getting filled with anxiety over things I have no control over, and looking back it will be just as amusing I'm sure.  But when you're in the middle of it, it doesn't seem so much like this too shall pass so I have to just say it out loud and take it on faith.

That's fantastic, congratulations! 

And those defects of character, they never leave, do they? But the program gives us the tools to deal with them.

Hope you had a wonderful day with your daughter. smile

Congratulations!  Thank you for your service to AA and to us here.  Yes, the results of The Program are truly amazing.  They tell me it keeps getting better.  So I keep plugging along- one day at a time.  Hope you had a great day with your daughter.
