Today marks my 6 month (2/21/08)of sobriety. I drank non-stop almost every night for 17 years. By the grace of my HP and the help of so many friends, I am alive today clean and sober. I offer a heartfelt thank you for all the help I have recieved from everyone concerned. May grace, mercy and peace find all ya'll.

Nice one, Joe. Congratulations!

I too drank for pretty much every day for 17 years. I am grateful every day that through practising 12 step principles and receiving strength from a HP I dont have to live like that anymore.

May you continue to have peace and serenity on your journey of recovery and life.
