Hi Undies

Amp I think that forgetting you're not drinking is a special milestone!

I'm two years sober today. I feel fortunate to share a milestone with you all. The most valuable parts of my recovery are the ones I share with other people.

Today I clung close to a very special one year coin that I received after it traveled its way around a room in Dupont Circle where Carlos and I visited last winter, as well as a cool original charm that denotes the peace and serenity that I seek towards living a life that's joyous, happy and free.

Tonight I met my sponsor for dinner. With her encouragement, I've volunteered to take on the 13 week chairperson position for my home group meeting. I do not feel like I have anything extraordinary to offer as a Chair, but I do know it's important for folks to take on the roles that keep meetings going. Meetings need to be available so the next alcoholic who needs a place to go for hope or inspiration or and hour without booze -- like I once did. I'm grateful to be able give back what has been freely given me at AA and on SR.
