Birthday Mood
Friday, June 6, 2008
Well, My 45th birthday will be Wednesday June 18th and my sobriety birthday will be July12th.It is hard to beleive I will have been sober for 10 years.It feels like just yesterday I can into A.A.feeling hopeless and hating myself for all I have done to myself and others with my drinking.If someone would told me I could stay sober for anything like ten years I would have laughed in there face.I thank God for giving me a whole new life.

    A very happy birthday for the 18th and a huge heartfelt hug for doing so well!!! I wish my husband could have even tried :( - it seems giving up on the relationship and looking for another is preferable to trying to give up on booze :( Take care Joe and I hope you're proud of yourself - you really should be!!! xx
