So, this was my first topic here at MIP: http://aa.activeboard.com/t51734116/hi/

A year ago today I woke up and couldn't remember what had happened the night before. When I got out of bed I went to the kitchen and thought about drinking the last of the bottle of wine, but instead I poured it down the sink. I didn't make any decisions that day, and I was still pretty hammered from the night before, so I actually count the 26th as my sobriety date.

If you're new or struggling, my message is this: It gets better. It gets so much better. These days, I can cope with life and I'm not afraid or ashamed or uncomfortable in my skin. And I was doing pretty well on the outside. But, inside I was a mess.

MIP was a huge part of this year for me. Thank you all for being here and carrying the message!

Visualize me standing on my chair, swingin' my body around, clappin' and yellin'... "You go Girl!  A whole damn year!!" LOL

What a beautiful gift to have you with us here Ruby.  Isn't it really cool, to be able to go to sleep, not pass out?  To lay down instead of fall down?  And really cool is not having to wake up and ask someone else what we did, or how we acted last night!  

I haven't had to do that, since the day I got sober... there might be a connection.  :)

Love ya and wishing you bunches of sober days ahead!

John
