My gratitude to God and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, for restoring me to sanity. In the last 2 years of my drinking, I thought of little else but alcohol, the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. I was not an evil person, but just sick and suffering from an illness for which medicine had no solution. AA had found a solution which it wrote in the AA book, and when I found that solution for myself, I was not going to squander it.
Thanks to all my friends on this board, of which I have been a member for over 2 years. You have greatly helped me when I needed an online meeting.
One more day done 24 years with the growing sobriety as a consequence and a relationship with the fellowship and with the God of your understanding in support of another 24 hours God willing you and the fellowship get that. I am grateful for your membership and the depth of your recovery that your bring here. Mahalo Nui...(((hugs)))
I, too, greatly appreciate your contribution here:) The wisdom and serenity you've gained through 24 years of "1 day at a times" is inspiring. Congratulations
Woot! Good for you and thanks for letting us share in your recovery. :)

Thanks all. Really appreciate your tokens of love.
I thank God for granting me the gift of 24 years of sobriety. The worst years of my life was the drinking years. I never knew that life beyond that existed. Today it's been life beyond addiction, with peace and serenity. Many will not comprehend the joy felt in the heart of an alcoholic myself. I never get complacent with the gift bestowed upon me. It's the fruit of God to be shared. I spent my day at the AA rally in the morning and rounded it off with a wonderful meeting at Bill's room. The speaker tonight reminded me of how dark it can get in the world of the still practicing alcoholic. I pray that I may never forget how dark it was during my active drinking days. I pray that I may continue God's work in AA for the still suffering alcoholic. And there but for the grace of God go I.
Congratulations Gonee on 24 years in sobriety and for sharing your ESH with everyone, truly giving back what was given to you.Through God's grace and mercy you continue walking in the light a day at a time.Peace brother!
