Happy birthday! I had my 23 years on October 6, 2007. It is hard to believe that so much time has gone by.

Many sober days behind you. Many, many more ahead. Lead by example.

Congratz, you are yet one more showing proof that it works if you work it.

23 Years is Such as Inspiration!

Not to make you feel old, but dang! You've been Sober longer than I'm sure many of "our Family" have been alive!

God Bless and here's to many, many more!

That is awesome Sheryl, you have been sober since I turned 31!!! I would assume you were about 17 or 18 when you sobered up then right? LOL

Aww shucks!
Thank you to everyone that posted. It makes me feel so good to know that all of you sent me well wishes. I spent the weekend with my sponsor at our conference here in Waco. We had the best time! She's on a fixed income so I always take her as a way to celebrate her birthday which is the month before in April and as a way to thanks her for putting up with me all these years. These kind of things help to refresh and renew my spirits!

To all my family here at SR, thank you so much!
