What would you feel like if you where 50 today?
If I was 50 today I would feel really good about myself. I just quit drinking at age 42, so I would be approx 8 years old.
Thank my Higher Power for that! If I where 50 and still working the program like I have been, I will be so grateful.
If I hadn't stopped drinking/addictions I would be a miserable mess, waking up to hangovers and still the same miserable person I was 6 months ago. Now I have a plan, a plan that does not include alcohol.
I am so grateful for AA, it has given me my life back!!

Congratulations SoberBrooke! That is truly fantastic!
Well six days ago I actually turned fifty. LOL. And I felt great. Tomorrow I have 150 days under my belt. Does that mean I am only 150 days old? Cause some days it feels like it!

Yep, there's nothing like reaching life's milestones and being able to remember the years that came before. It is a wonderful thing to know that whatever mistakes we make (and we do) alcohol was not involved.
Life is so much better without alcohol!

I heard that who I am today is the sum of where I was five years ago.
That means that five years from today I will be 50, sober, fit, healthy married to a windeful man and with a wonderful meaningful career.
That is, if I take action today to make these things come true.
Today! Odaat

8-11-90 was my first full day sober and
was 30 yrs. old. This coming August, if I
don't drink, i'll have 22 yrs sobriety in my
early 50's.
Today, I feel quite young like as if Im still
a child enjoying a life I should have had when
I was growing up.
So many experiences, strengths and hopes thru
out the yrs. to define who I am today. Happy,
sober and content.
3 yrs. married after a 25 yr marriage ended.
Planning our second trip to Sturgis, have quite
a few lovely, vibrant tattoos, piercings, and have
gone from a brunette to a blonde.
Only in recovery that I can truely be who I am
suppose to be. ME..!
