90 days today

And once again, filled with gratitude.

I didn't think it was possible for a 30 year drunk like me.

But thanks to my higher power which i call God, SR, my sponsor, the fellowship of AA, my wonderful rehab experience, I have built a foundation in sobriety.

If you are new, like in your first few days, please know there is a way out.

Look at some of my old threads. I struggled, big time.

But I finally surrendered, and found acceptance. And it's made all the difference.

My name is Kevin and I'm an alcoholic. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community.

Congratulations on 90 days.

Acceptance made the difference for me as well.

Inspiring! Great job SDSurfn. I look forward to experiencing exactly what "acceptance" is! Anyone care to describe or is it only experienced by the individual?

Way to go Kevin! That is awesome.

I'm 72 days behind you, but if you can get there, I know I can too. Thanks for the inspiration.
