25 years ago today

Today is a birthday of sorts for me. It was April 28th 1985 that I thought the world would be better off without me in it.....I had no idea that it was to be the beginning of a great life instead. I was fortunate that it worked out that way for me. For many including a person I became friends with recently wasn't so fortunate as are many others affected by addiction in this world.



I am 50 years old this year and on this day I am 25 years sober and in long term recovery. I am grateful to so many I can't even begin to list all of you but most of you reading this will feel it so that is my thanks to you for touching my life and being an active part of the support along the way. I even thank those who wished me ill as I in some cases definitely deserved that and yet to this day I want folks to know that I have tried to make amends to all whom I affected by my disease. I try to be a better example as others have showed me along the way.



My message today is simple and I hope you will carry a piece of it with you to others. Don't Give Up.....ever....Be What You Are....always.....Walk with others ....Unity....Reach out and help where you can....Service....Life is Nutz ....we know this...embrace it and show others you care...



Have a great day!
