a drawer full of AA tokens


bounced in and out of the AA Program for many years
received many of the same tokens over and over
30 day, 60 day, 90 day, 6 month, 9 month even a few 1 and 2 year tokens
my junk drawer in the kitchen
more than once was covered on the bottom with tokens

today my tokens are very special to me
as I receive ones that I have never gotten before
for this is the longest I have ever been sober

thank you God

why did I get so many chances to sober up yet again ??

I have had several friends in AA
who have slipped and gone back out
only to die with a drink in their hands

I take this very seriously today

alcoholism can be a fast killer

I have a few 24 hrs tokens and months 1-5 in my drawer....

I'm currently creeping back up on a renewed one-month token, and looking forward to holding that first 1-year.... and 2-year.... and 30-year....

worthy goals FreeOwl
when I would return to AA after going back out
I so looked forward to getting more sober time than last time
found out that if I keep doing what I'm supposed to do
it happens

after so many attempts I have 6 years sober
took me 40 years off and on to get 6
don't recommend that for anybody

best we all stay sober today

one of the few things that I have hung on the walls here at home

one of my 6 year tokens received in AA

I think that my wife is as proud of it as I'm
yes -- she went through much when I went back to the liquid devil
