600 days!

so i check the sober time calculator pretty regularly. today is 600 days for me. wow...you've got to be kidding. i cant believe how fast time is going. where do the days go? i remember the first year it seemed like every 30 days felt like a decade. now it seems like hundreds of days go by in a flash. when life gets really full, leave home at 8AM and get back at 8PM, the time just flies by. sometimes i feel like i wish time would stand still. but the only thing constant in life is change....and my sponsor once said that "its not change that hurts us, but the resistence to it"....so i roll with the punches today. who would have thought that a gutter punk homeless kid crying himself to sleep in a park everynight would one day live be a sucess? not me...but God had a different plan for me. thank the Lord for working in my life on a daily basis.

chicago, congrats on 600 days, I agree its an amazing process and all I do is turn up and do the footwork.

Proud to be here with you chicago. I went from being a fall over user helpless and hopeless and today I hear and try carry a message of hope.

Kevin - 854 days.
