Hi, all. 

I just wanted to share that my AH just had his one year sober "birthday" this weekend.  Our 15 year old son and I went with him to the AA birthday meeting, and it was truly inspiring.  All three of us cried.  There were people there with from 1 year to 35 years of sobriety, and each got their coin and spoke for a few minutes. 

Mind you, this last year has not been easy.  Sobriety doesn't all the sudden solve all your problems, even though we want to believe it will.  But Al-anon and the attitude changes I have learned from it have made me a saner, healthier person.  And I can now see a future ahead of us that is full of possibilities.  So never lose hope and continue to work on yourselves.

Cloudsea
