Congratulations, Kevin!!
Today is my 6 year anniversary of quitting smoking. And my first day of not drinking. And I am committed this time. It is time.
Glad we will be sharing an anniversary,
Nancy
PS - Love your drums, I am almost 50 years old and I just started drumming!

You were one of the first to calm me down and welcome me when I came crawling in to SR in '07. I'll never forget reading your story and feeling like I could get well, too. Thanks for everything you bring to our community. Love you, Kev.
everything is already ok

Thanks guys and yes I really enjoyed being at a meeting last night and saying I was 5 years clean 
Yesterday was full of messages of congrats and love and it was overwhelming, I had some other stuff to deal with and toward the end of the day was a little off, so I went to bed.
Coffeenut. The way I did it and the way I still do it, is that I came here and asked for help, people held me and told me (literally) what to do physically and later how to get well. I got involved in a recovery program, mine is NA but there are many that work and jumped right in the middle of teh fellowship and gradually did what was suggested and gradually got welll physically, mentally and after a while started to get well spiritually.
Today I do the same program but I see it as a spiritual program a very practical one. My recovery still comes first, I talk to that mysterious power greater than me each day I talk to members go to meetings, come here and to the best of my ability live by the spiritual principles of NA. I am an aetheist and have no desire to understand my higher power I only need to know that it is.
I am a work in progress and will always be an addict but for today I choose to be an addict in recovery and today as always I am grateful for what I have been given.
Hope that helps coffeenut, it is written with Love.
