18 months today.
Permalink  
 


or 500 and something lots of 24 hours.

 

Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years.

 

It doesn't feel much different from any other day unlike the year milestone, but that is a good thing. Just another day of me enjoying this new shot at life I have, with a light heart and a clear head. It's nice, y'know. Real nice.

 

Thanks for being there for my journey. I couldn't have done it with out you.

 

Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years, and it keeps getting better.

 

:)

Aloha Frodo...good on you brother.  Walk the talk; work the program savor the sanity and bring it back to support someone else.  I'm smiling because of what Fyne added.  I gets way more interesting as each day goes by and mounts up.  Thanks for letting us watch your journey and allowing us to continue on.   Mahalo smile

Uh OK. Interesting in a good way, I hope. Not interesting like the Chinese curse: 'may you live in interesting times'. I've had enough of that sort of interesting to last me a lifetime.

That was a bit of a joke. I have faith in the program. It will only take me the places I need to go to, and it won't give me more than I can handle. Of this I am sure. And if it doesn't well tough titties anyway coz I'm staying the course no matter what comes my way. I feel alive and truly happy for the first time since childhood, and I'm not trading that for a skinful of piss and a head full of misery.

I found that at about that time I started fitting back into society at large the way I was meant to. Prior to that, AA carried me and I functioned okay in the world and what not, but I really was in a big protective AA bubble. Not to say I strayed from AA at 18 months, but I did get more active in my life outside the rooms.

Here is something funny:

For the last 6 or so weeks I've been feeling restless, but in a good way. I know I'm ready to start moving forward in life. There are things I'd like to do and now I feel that I'm in the right space to do them. One of them is to get more involved in the program. Do a bit more than set up and wash up. So I was going to make mention of it tonight at the meeting but was pre-empted by someone asking me if I'd mind taking over the secretaries job, to give her a bit of a break.

I think that is exactly what I need. Good for me, good for her, good for my group. This program never ceases to amaze.

Nice stuff Frodo.  God presents us opportunities when we are ready.  Looks like he worked his magic for you.  smile  I heard it said, as soon as The Program ceases to amaze you, we start moving back toward a drink.  Glad to see The Program is amazing you.  It still amazes me also.
