  Hi guys, well yesterday was my 42 months sober. Three and a half years feels like 10. Time has slowed down as I find I am more aware of all the little things that I never took a moment to appreciate. I am so very thankful to have stepped out of that hazy blur that my life was. I think that if I hadn't quit when I did that I would suddenly be 80 and wondering what happened? 
  Sooo thankful!!!

Congratulations on 42 months sober.

When I hit 42 months was when I began to go downhill. Went through a divorce, had a bad accident in my shop and my dad died from an accident at my house. I dealt with it in the wrong way and I should have known better but life being life is never what we want it to be all the time. Such is the world of duality. Peace only comes from within and I think you have found that peace but I am still working on it.

~~~Peace~~~

3 1/2 years - what an achievement, am so happy for you, you are a beautiful, calming presence in our group & have taught me a lot.

What a wonderful gift to have found the sunshine and light in life and yourself.

Read this quote today " I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come on in someone's eyes when they've been lost in the dark for so long"

You are the 'light' !!!

And as our mutual friend says:

"I inherit the results of my body, speech and mind. My actions are my continuation" x

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
