Any Friends of Bill W here @ AudioKarma

I first met Bill W soon after a 10 day stay at a special ward at the hospital. They had sent in some kind of councilor to talk to me before being released. She gave me an address where I could learn about Bill.
That was going on 13 years ago ( Feb. 26 2008)
That "one day at a time" just rolls off the tongue so easy. It's still very hard for me to actually live it.
Forgetting past/future and opening me up to guidance from above. When I achieve that state of serenity good things happen.
I didn't know about this thread. I will put it on my watch list.
HHH
17 years today and still going strong.
Plenty of exercise (bicycling) and music keep the demons at bay.
 
About to pass 125 days and celebrating with a big victory (to me).

I'm off all my blood pressure meds. A year ago I was on two and barely controlled. As of today, I've been off everything for 2 weeks and sitting just about perfect at 118/76.

Feels good, man.

That's awesome. Great news.
 
Yesterday I celebrated 31 years of sobriety. Wreckage of the past (Party Tax) is working against me now. In 1992 I was arrested for crack cocaine and took a plea deal to avoid prison. This judge was handing out years like candy. Fast forward to now. I recently decided to apply to get my FOID card re issued. I checked the felony box and was denied of course. And rightly so. I requested an appeal and was sent a form to state my case. Being a non violent no weapons case I have a chance. In my appeal letter I state I have been clean and sober since 1994. I went thru a 28 day recovery program and am still active in AA. I worked hard to straighten out my life and maintained a clean record. Yesterday was bitter sweet when I had to visit felony court at 26th and California in Chicago. I had to get paperwork proving that I pleased the court and completed probation. It's now the states decision to choose my reinstatement or let the IL prison review board hear my case. I will keep you guys up to date on this matter.
 
40 years this past Sunday. That can't possibly be right, can it? One day at a time adds up just like those crabby old timers kept telling me!

Happy to report that this year was waaaaay better than last year. Have high hopes and ambitious plans for the next year, and am excited to get going.

Congrats to everyone marking milestones and anniversaries. Hope you all are seeing the promises come true!
