my friend Boston celebrated 4 years without any mind-altering drugs
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that it might have been worse**
that I no longer have to make excuses for trips in order to drink without restraint
that I no longer have to plan my drinks or what time I will start drinking
that I remember what I did last night -- and every night for the last 2217 nights
that I no longer resent people for interfering with my drinking
that I went to Boston's 4th sobriety celebration last night
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.

Please tell Boston congratulations on 4 years...the blog is not public. What a miracle!
I love being a snowflake.
I love living in Texas. Design-wise we have the best state. I remember being in the Galleria after I moved here and there were Texas shaped cornbread pans in the shape of the state. I thought that no other state would make such a pretty pan.
That's a beautiful chip. I wonder if Pammie knows what the Massachusetts chips will look like--a pumpkin?
Glad that you are feeling so good.
What a good memory you have, 2217 nights!
