I made it

I finally made it!  As of April 18th I had a year clean and sober.  I read back over the past year's journal entries and I realized just how much I went through.  And the important thing is that I managed to go through them without picking up a bottle.  Thanks to all of those people who helped me get through those hard times with a kind word of support.  Now we start on year number two one day at a time.  That is how it is done.....ONE DAY AT A TIME.  I celebrated my year with a very dear friend and someone who has filled in as a sponsor for me over the years.  We went to and AA convention and spent a lot of time talking about how far I had come from the first time I tried to stop drinking.  Anyway, it was a great time and I know my sponsor/sponsors are proud of me.  That means a great deal to me to know that people are actually proud of me and that I didn't let them, or more importantly, myself down.
