Hi All

Its been a long time since I've been here and I'm glad to be back. 13 years of recovery now. Thank you for the birthday wishes. 66 years young today. I don't think I've been back since my wife passed away from cancer. In fact I lost my mother,father,oldest brother and wife in about 4 years. All to cancer but I never used over it.

Welcome back James, and many congratulations on your birthday and your sobriety date.

I'm sorry for all the tragedy you've had in your life in such a short space of time. And wow...to make it through all that without using. That is an inspiration to us all

James, 13 years sober is AWESOME!

And two posts in nine years must be some kind of record. Thanks for checking in!

Hey James, you are an inspiration to me.

I offer you the following:

My sincere condolences on the losses in your life.

My sincere awe for not using during the difficult times.

My sincere thanks for you coming on here and sharing.

Have a great day. If you ever have time, I would love to read about how you've stayed sober so long. I'm on Day 19 and looking forward to the sober time ahead of me. It's nice to get a glimpse into other's experience.

Best,
Melina
