todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
another day of waking up totally sober. I rarely got hangovers during my 33-year drinking career. I usually jumped out of bed at 5 or 6am, ready for the new day. But I certainly wasn't sober, had I been given a blood/alcohol test. It amazes me that I often drove van-loads of employees to and from airports, hotels and port calls when I was not sober. I never even gave it a thought that it might not be the smartest thing to be doing.
that one of my bestest recovery buddies had an amazing past 2 weeks. He got to work on the most important parts of his 9th step (with family) and also be present for his dad's illness. At dinner last night I got to see the amazement he is experiencing. I recognized it because I was there too.
damn! I love being sober!!

For some reason, this made me cry. You are such a good sober guy. And thanks for your offer yesterday. I got it while sitting silently at my desk - it made a difference in my day, even though I didn't make the call. Thanks Dave. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo, mc
How did you not get hangovers???!!! Hangovers killed me. Physical hangovers and emotional hangovers. Your blog is great and I love this pic. Cheers xxx
Yes, I used to be one of the people riding in those vans and cars. Scary now when I think about it.
