9 Months today, wow what a ride

Yep, 9 months today.

I am now sober for a longer time than I have been for some 15 years.

I am actively working the steps and am in the process of writing my 4th.

I have no desire to drink, the obsession seems to have been lifted

My higher power is definitely in charge.

Mostly I am at ease and happy.

I have been blessed.

Rock on!!!!!

The Mellow one
