I Rolled out of Bed

I rolled out of bed today and my feet hit the floor. Nothing else did. So I considered it a pretty darn good start.

Just living, breathing and cheating at Scrabble - Sober - one day at a time. It's a beautiful thing and I don't want to waste it anymore.

God bless all of my new friends here.

It's good to have you here Daddio! That is how we do it, one day at a time, one hour, one moment, one breath. Life for me in recovery has been very, very good.

Thanks for the kind words Astro. I'm day 570 and counting. You're right, it is very good. I do things sober for the first time in 40 years and it's just a whole new experience. Again, thanks. Daddio
