a fallen man

i had to go to the sober calculator for those. i quit keeping a calendar.

i apologize for not checking in lately. i mean it. this is the place that got me sober.

oh.....i had to want it. nobody can quit unless they want it worse than they want another drink. but this place gave me the support and encouragement when i was measuring my sober time by hours.

i'm 51 and it has been the best year and a half of my life. that's kinda a sad statement.....on me.....lol.

but life is good here in the commonwealth for me. my oldest son is getting married in june. i've helped rebuild a house for him and his fiance'. i could have done none of it while drinking.

well...i guess i could have but the lines of the house would be wobbly.

for any newcomer.....i was you. none of us come to this place because we had too much to drink one time. we're at the end when we come here.

i thank the board moderators and greeters that continue making this a 'life saving' home. that's what it does. save lives.

i went to see kid rock in nashville friday night. sober as a priest....check that one....sober as a cop....wait...check that one. let's just call it sober.

and i was surrounded by drunks. and i had to help referee a bunch of drama between the folks next to me and the folks behind me. i didn't really have to but it was the right thing to do.

had i been drunk i would not have been refereeing...i woulda been in the middle of it. lol. it was still a great show and i did the driving for a buddy who has driven me many times.

he didn't really get drunk but he had a few beers after the show. life is good right now for me and basically it is because i no longer drink.

love to all that are trying. and BIG LOVE to the regulars that are helping.

love always,

david.
