1,461 Days - in a row

Thank you to all the lamplighters here who showed me a path out of the drunken haze I had been in for decades. Your tolerance is humbling and your hearts are enormous.

It seems Sobriety isn't for those who need it, it's for those who want it........ more than anything. Grace opened a door for me and can for anyone.

My life has not turned into a Disney parade. Circumstances are difficult on a few different fronts. Regardless of all this I find myself genuinely grateful and thankful; remarkable.

This song sums it up better than I ever could.
Thank you my SR friends........

...and you have picked up that sacred flame and carried it forward with grace and love from your own heart.

1461 sober mornings. Pretty great. "In a row," I said that about my one week soberversary and even at the time I realized how silly, "Seven days. In a row," sounded. Absurd and frightening that a week was hard.

That song - fantastic. So many pop songs borrow from ancient wisdom. Carrying the flame.

So many have covered Satisfied Mind - Dylan and Cash’s versions are wonderful

Hey, nothing to sneeze at when we started with 7 daze ....in a row!!

Glad we are all on this journey together - keepers of the flame.
Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Thank you to all!
