It has been some time since my days on SR. Hello! I am sober, well, and happy. I will occasionally look through my stash of past writings as a way to stay grounded in my sobriety. It puts perspective on my life and reminds me that, today, I will not drink and I will not change my mind.

Mecanix is one of the first friends I made here and still is. I cherish him. I have found many good friends here on SR. I love them all for the support they gave\give me daily, even to this day. Thanks!

I hope these word help you.I still cannot read them without choking up and feeling such a deep sense of hope. There is hope. Hope is tangible. Hope is real. ❤️

*Ring Ring*

What does it mean? In the words of Mecanix...

“The first bell is the bell of mindfulness, calling to me and you.

It says stop what am i doing right now, take some breaths, feel my body, am I holding it tight and tense? Relax… calm down… life is a journey and not a destination, make the journey as glorious as possible.

The second bell is the freedom bell and I'm ringing it for you to let you know freedom from drink and drugs is available to you, come and hear us calling out to you.”

So very nice and really warm it is to see familiar faces. Selfless people that watched me go through my hell.

To those I know …Hi Hevyn! Hi SoberLeigh! Hi MLD51! Hi Hawkeye13! Hi Gatorman!

I see Anna and BIM stopped in. Hello!

And new folks… Hi Free2bme888! Hi DriGuy!

Life is good these days. Settling into a new home I built. Job is amazing. And living a sober life I only once dreamed of. DriGuy is correct, sobriety can be a reality.

I could do with a healthy dose of mindfulness, so I’m ringing the bell. Thanks for making me aware.

Bitchen Post, Weasel.

Thank you for those inspirational thoughts to carry us all along on the front of inevitable Life Waves. Not immersed and helpless at the bottom of them...
