WOW! I made it to 37
Permalink  
 

I almost forgot it was my birthday. To anyone who's turned on a tv today, you can see there's a lot going on in the Boston area. I usually don't watch tv in the morning so I was getting ready for a meeting when I got flooded with texts from friends. My neighborhood is in 'lockdown'... But I'm the kind of idiot that doesn't care haha. Was meant to work, but my place decided to close. I made the walk down anyway, because we hadn't decided to close yet. The boys in the kitchen had been there all day doing prep work and drinking beer. I've got to say, it was nice to hang with them enjoying themselves without any desire for a drink myself:) It then occurred to me- holy crap! I'm 37 years old today! I forgot. My sobriety date had taken over my birthdate in terms of importance. I honestly never thought I would live this long- never mind be 11 months sober! WOW. Best birthday I've had so far, for sure:)

Hauoli la hanau...Col from the Big Island (moku nui).  I'm very happy for you and your post resonates with me also.  It was at 37 that my life ended and I started living on borrowed time...HP's gift so that I could experience recovery.  Have another great day and thanks for passing it back.   (((hugs)))smile
