Picking up a 10 yr token here in a while (grateful)

Although a long road -- wow time flies by.

Yesterday was my sobriety date -- 10 yrs without a drink.

Heading out to an early 7AM meeting in a while to receive my token.

My life has changed so much for the better since that day in which I made a Firm Decision to never drink again. Yes, I had been burned on the hot stove too many times. How many times must a drunk like me be whipped before waking up? Only God knows the answer to that and as we know some poor souls never escape the grip of the

LIQUID DEVIL

for those who may be struggling please remember that term and take it to heart

drinking for us only leads to running with the Liquid Devil. ..

So grateful to be here sober today.
A call out of thanks to all here on site.

MountainmanBob, you're the best. We all would be wise to follow your example and keep counting our sober days. No more running with that Liquid Devil indeed, well put!

A decade of sobriety, congratulations Bob. It's pretty amazing but not surprising with your commitment each day.

That's so awesome, Bob.

They don't call it "spirits" for nothin'. . .and not the good kind.

Well done!! I'll tip my coffee cup to ten more for you.
