Hey Mark, congrats on V ! I remember feeling very good and comfortable, in my sober identity, from that day on. Gone was any stigma associated with my disease. All AA surveys and graphs show a straight up linear increase in percentage of long term sobriety passing the 5 year point. Well done!

I had my #5 earlier this year, so we're not very far apart on our time sober ... ... ... but I'm a damn sight older than you, LOL ... I wish you continued sobriety and success in life, you deserve it!!!
Love ya man and God Bless,
Pappy

Hi Mark, Congratulations!!!!!!!! I'm very happy for you, as we all are here. 5 years of sobriety is a huge deal and quite a milestone for people like us. Looks like you've done some big work in the past 5 years. I'd say keep doing what's working and keep coming back. And.......yes, your marbles are back!! Blessings, Mike D.
Aloha Pinkchip...Congradulations on that milestone and for bringing it back here. I am personally grateful for the MIP experience which contains your ESH. Mahalo.
Happy 5th Soberversary, Pinky! I thought you'd remember me too Thank you & God love you! Well done on reaching your first five years Wow! I had a friend tell me that apparently we're in sustained recovery once we pass this milestone according to the Betty Ford clinic. How about that then! Congratulations Brother you're wearing it well ;) God bless you, babe! Love & fellowship always odaat Danielle x

As Dean alludes, the miracle keeps happening. The rate of sustained and stable recovery improves out of sight after you reach this milestone. All we need do is try and stay in fit spiritual condition:)
