Good morning everyone. Today is a day that reminds me how much we need to cherish our sobriety and cherish the time we get to spend with our loved ones. A very good man, great coach (to my kids and many others), and a great father in our community passed away on Thursday after about a year long battle with cancer. He was 45, leaving behind a wife and three kids. Our family is upset, our kids loved learning from him. After my run this morning I was cooling down on our porch thinking about how any problems I've had with my mental health, with my battle against alcohol, pales in comparison to what his kids are experiencing today having to say goodbye to their father.
I'm dedicating my next 24 hours of sobriety to their family and his memory.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday.
Here for 24 hours of freedom.
After 3 years of sobriety, there are days I don't even think about the fact that I don't drink anymore.
But I want to keep the reminder alive in my heart, because I would not be here today, if it weren't for my sobriety.
I wouldn't be separating and filing for divorce. I would remain stuck and unhappy in a 9 year marriage that was toxic since year 2.
I would continue to drown my unhappiness in a wine bottle, or beer or whatever I could find.
Today, I choose love.
Today, I choose peace in my heart.
Today, I choose a life that I deserve.
I would not be the person I am today if I had not stopped drinking.
And that is the reminder I need.
Sending love to each and every one of you.
Sunny

And love to Yoda Dog and everyone....I had a lot to catch up on....seriously great to see Juliet, and just so many beautiful posts.
Have fun dear Delilah....and I hope today is a better day dear Awake.
And James....I have a feeling that for most us of our drinking was like a helicopter crash sending out debris to everyone in our vicinity. s ❤️

Good to see all of you here! Hoping you are all finding some balance of peace and gratitude in between all the other stuff that's going on - and I'm reading that a lot of you really have some stuff. Lean on who and what you need as long as it nurtures the real you. Sending peace and strength to those in need. So glad to be here for another 24.
