Just letting you guys know...

... I happily celebrated 18 months of sobriety on April 26th.

Thanks to all for your love, support -- and especially your experience, strength and hope.

Ken

That's great. Just think of all the money you saved, all the time you didn't waste being drunk or getting over a drunk, all the calories you didn't consume, and so on.

Eighteen months is wonderful. Congrats!
