5 Months Sober & Giving A Lead!

Yes folks it's be tiburon going to be giving a lead at a popular meeting. I was asked & thought I should declined (minimum 6 months sober requirement) but the chair insisted. I really do feel honored. I hope people get something out of my horrible struggle to get sober. I think I should do good though. I'm only on step 2 but I feel like things are coming together. It feel great waking up having a clear head & having some good coffee instead of a 6pack of cheap beer! Thanks to everyone here who put up with my sh*t.

Tib, your story and struggle over time have a unique ability to help someone like no one else can.

How many meetings did you sit in over the years and think to yourself "I don't relate, I am not like these people, they don't get me"?

That person is going to be listening, just stick to your experience and you can't go wrong.
