TAZ! How do I top these wonderful things that have already been said? You truly are a treasured member of this SR Family.
What I appreciate the most about you is your complete honesty on here. You tell it like it is and that's what we all need. . . you're honest input and being open with your thoughts and feelings.
God Bless You!

Looking back did you ever think this day would come ?
I was physically free from alcohol, but the mental obsession for it was driving me insane, my head was screaming "Stop and get a 12 pack for the ride home!!!" while my soul was screaming "I do not want to die!"............... To be honest what I used my self will for was to pray for the power to just get home with out getting something to drink. Well my HP who I really did not know at the time gave me that power, I made it home booze free.
The next exercise of my will was to follow the suggestion given to me in detox, that suggestion was that if I wanted a chance to stay sober to go to at least 90 AA meetings in 90 days and get a sponsor. That evening I went to my first AA meeting outside of detox ever sober! I had gone to one years before I finally got sober drunk as a skunk, I drank going to the meeting and on the way home from it. The only thing I got out of that first meeting was the people there were nice and welcomed my drunk butt with open arms.
That first sober meeting out side of detox John was the first glimmer of real hope I had that I might just be able to stay sober with the help of those people in those rooms. I heard their stories, some of them had been far worse then I, many had been in jails, prisons, & institutions and yet there they were, sober and happy!!!
I got my first sponsor that night and have exercised my will on a daily basis ever since to be willing to open my mind to new things, to be willing to drop all of my prejudices and preconcieved ideas and to be willing to do what ever it takes to stay sober.
Every morning I use my self will for me to ask my HP to be able to see what he would have me to do, and for Him to grant me the strength and knowledge to do it. Every evening I thank my HP for another day sober.
I try and freely give away every day what was so freely given to me and I have found that the more I give it away, the more I get in return no matter what!
I want to thank every one of you for helping me stay sober today, you see I will openly admit that without all of you, the fellowship of AA, and my HP I could not have stayed sober this long. I am doing today with the help of my HP and you all what I could not do for myself.
When I was drinking it was all about me, I was not a part of the world, I tried to control the world my way! Today I know what "WE" is all about, I am part of that "WE", I am a part of the world today, I no longer feel as though I am on the outside of the world looking in, I am part of it.
I love you all!

Congratulations Taz! I know we joined about the same time, though you have a little more sober time than me. I am so pleased to celebrate this 2 year mark with you. I remember posting in the beginning and you always had such good advice and experience to share even back then. And even though I don't go to AA, you still helped me more than you know! I was in awe of you then and now as well. You have an amazing recovery going on and so freely help others. Much love to you Martin 
. Continued sobriety is in your future no doubt about it

Thanks again every one for helping me to stay sober one more day.
bostonluv thank you, I share my ES&H just in the hopes that someone can find what I have found and not continue to live in the haydes of alcoholism, I applaude every alcoholic here who is sober today no matter how they got sober or how long they have been sober, they are helping others as well as thier selfs by being here and sharing.
