What an awesome list of Milestoners today with a special shout out to Madbird for 1 YEAR!! Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration!

Enjoyed a 4-mile walk/jog/run and now relaxing on the patio with a healthy breakfast and lots of water on this hot day. The birds are chirping away, I'll get up in a bit and pick some home grown produce from the garden....Oh and I'm here with you all. What a nice start to the weekend-

It's good to be healthy and Sober. Take care all.....xxxx

I got here One Day at A Time. Thank you to all of you for helping me do this.
Amazing!!! Congrats to you, Madbird!! Your an inspiration to us all.

I know that the goodness of my life is a necessary foundation for its usefulness. I will welcome this training for without it God cannot give me His power. I believe that this power is a mighty power when it is used in the right way. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may face and accept whatever discipline is necessary. I pray that I may be fit to receive God's power in my life.
^^^ Love it and live it, Kris! Thank you for this.

Had great day @ cousin's son's second birthday. Got to tell my two fav aunts where I was in life-sobriety,getting along w/ dad,making amends & after even tho there were guests milling around, held hands & each one of us said a prayer of thanks! One actually cried & hugged,kissed & thanked her for being such a person of strength & support to me(both actually are). Guys were by this time drinking outside but I tried to sit & be engaged but was so sleepy, just went inside & laid down plus its cold. 24 of freedom pls
