1 month today and what an amazing meeting I went to this morning!!!

Well, I am here for the second time announcing I have made it to 1 month of sobriety. I feel so much more confident then I did the last time and I have added so much to my toolbox in the last month.

During my AA meeting this morning another woman was collecting her 1 month chip and when I went to get mine we were out of that particular one. Halfway through the meeting she got up and said she wanted me to have the chip, that I deserved to hold it and feel good about myself. What an amazing person!!! The best part is that we did some searching and found another chip so we both left with one.

Thank you to everyone here for your support. I can't wait to see what another say sober will bring!

Congratulations. That's the way AA works, one alcoholic helping another, in person. I know the feeling. Little things mean a lot!

BE WELL

Congrats on one month and that is a wonderful story.

I have a special connection with people that came in around the time that I did. it is a gift to watch them progress because you know that you're progressing along with them.

I love this community. I felt lost and alone 47 short days ago before I came through the doors of AA. God bless you ! That is a great accomplishment. I look forward to seeing you around here, stay powerless!
