so guys...

i've been sober for two years, today. pretty rawesome. doin a 5th step with a sponsee tonight to celebrate.

if you're new, and you think you can't stay sober, or AA doesn't fit you, or blah blah blah, know this - if I can get sober, ANYONE can get sober... one day at a time.

much love, sober family.
