365 days today! I'm not sure I would be able to say this today without having benefitted from the collective wisdom and fellowship found here at SR. Thank you all!

While I have a handful of thousands plus days sober, more importantly I am enjoying a great sober day today. And as the guy falling off the ten story building said as he passed the 5th floor window, "so far so good" today.

Enjoy,
Jon

yes Amy thanks for reminding me
I also remember when I would wake with the thought not today
and in a couple of hours a beer in my hand

2,519 days sober for me today





"Got Sober"


I pray for you my Brother and Sister

that some day you will find

the gift of being sober

having clarity of your soul and mind.



I remember waking each morning

with the thought

I would turn over a new leaf

before long with a beer in my hand

I had lost all belief !



Demons galore

been down to the pits

dark alleys and more

dirty deeds done cheap

looking to score.



The battle was on

and I was losing

choices to make

and the wrong ones choosing !



Dear Lord, I prayed and prayed

till I had no more to say

finally surrendered---I am sober

God has taken the desire away !

Doing that is still painfully fresh in my mind. :/

I only have 9 days sober. But it's my record since becoming an alcoholic, and I'm really grateful for it.

In a month I will have 7 years -- sober record for Mountainman.

But honestly, just for today I have 2,524 days sober -- 6 years.
