To my friends, 8 years today
Just a shout out to all. 8 years sober today and 3 years since my daughter passed. Today is always bittersweet but I have my coin and am solidly sober although I doubt that the profound sadness will ever pass.

Take care and stay sober a day at a time.

I suspect that your daughter is keeping an eye on you and that she is so very proud.

Congratulations on 8 years sober!

Congrats on your anniversary, MIR.

You've done well. Your daughter knew that, and I hope you take great comfort in that knowledge.

Be well.
