About to celebrate my 100th anniversary

100 days tonight at midnight. The longest I have been sober since I was 16 and I am 35. I've had a lot of tests, some challenges and my life is not perfect. I left behind a helluva mess! But! I am sober today and thank God I am not where I used to be. It took pure desperation for me to stop. Now, I have the willingness, faith and hope to keep going. I wake up in the morning and can't wait to see what's outside the door. I used to wish I could bury my face in bed and hide from it. I end each day in peace and serenity with gratitude instead of passing out in a black out only to urinate on the floor later. I now look forward to the future rather than wondering how much longer I will be in it. My name is Brian and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic.

Thank you all! Good lyric Hope, Steven Wilson is one of my favorite artists also. I just have to be mindful because I know now my alcoholism will never leave me, but by working my daily action, may I never have to get drunk again.
