This is the longest I’ve been sober since I was 15 years old. It’s also been the longest period of sobriety I’ve ever had. I once did 4 years – but fell right off the wagon one afternoon. It was like I had never quit.
So… what’s the last five years been like? It’s been a gift – as I know I wouldn’t be sitting here today except for the Grace of God and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I’ve done a poor job of documenting the process of my sobriety, that’s for sure. It has been a ODAT – One Day at A Time – kind of thing for me.
I’ll come back later tonight or tomorrow and fill in some of the details. For now I’m going to enjoy this amazing day.
