Post I've Got 9 Years Sober Today
I don't make it in here as often as I used to.

Sober Recovery was a God send for me 4 years a go when, I signed in.

Don't quit until the miracle happens.

Awesome Captain! Congrats on something like 3,285 days, one day at a time of course!

Thanks for being an inspiration and carrying the message!

Thank you all for the warm reply

I went to a meeting out of town to pick up a chip tonight. They don't hand them out there

grr


There is nothing more rewarding then picking up a chip or, seeing someone else picking up a chip.



I do believe, it's quality over quantity

If, I don't continue to stay active, help other people in the program, I'll become stagnant in my program

It's rewarding to watch the new commer get his life back today

makes the journey well worth it

CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS!

Since the day I found SR, I have always found a great deal of experience, strength and hope in all of your posts. You are a shining example of how working a solid and honest Program can turn someone's life around so dramatically.

Love to Ya,
Judy

I didn't find the 10th year hard. 12-14 was the hardest for me. (those terrible pre-teen/teen years)

Having double-digit is kind of exciting!
