RandyBH

My name is RandyBH and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is: 8/30/2002. I am a grateful member of AA in new york city though i got sober and spent the first 7 years of my sobriety. I still have my hawaii sponsor but also have a sponsor in NYC. I am a college professor. I am an episcopalian as a spiritual path along with AA. I am a singer. I have a spouse with whom I have been with for 33 tears and legally married in Massachusetts and New York. Yup: I'm gay. I have two dachshunds: Bruno and Nalu. I have been a smoker since I was 18 and I am now willing to admit my powerlessness over nicotine and start a recovery journey.
