Celebrate Good TImes, Come On!

 Today is a day of celebration! Well, everyday is as it says we should rejoice in the Lord daily, but I'm trying to keep the religious out of the conversation for now.

Today marks nine months of sobriety for me. No relapses. I am turning into a better person with not drinking, as well as all the stuff I am learning how to 're-do' in life: being more empathetic, a better listener, nicer. It's hard for an old asshole like me to make these changes ... but here I am doing it.

Short and sweet today. I have two meetings I want to do today. First the 12 & 12 study with my AA/transplant support group, followed by my regular AA home group. And yes, I'm going to enjoy the short minute where everyone claps and says "Good Job!" on my nine months. Then I am going to the bar and having a shot - just kidding! Probably will be at the Post tonight.

Y'all have a good 'un...

I'm not only proud of you for 9 months sobriety, for the classes you are taking not only because you 'need' to, but it sounds like you 'want' to.... but I am so very proud of the man you have become. I see the change not only in you, but in how it affects those around you. I love you, son, more than you will ever know.
