Sobriety Anniversary - 22 years today!
Permalink  

The journey has been long, and it has been hard...

But the adventure of living life, each day has been worth it.

I've learned and I'm still teachable, 

I have grown, but still growing,

I do not seek an applause, for to do so would be the same as applauding a cowboy with hemroids for not riding his horse any more...

When the pain got bad enough... 

I stopped being willing to get on it...

Thank you for being a part of my life experience, and allowing me to be a part of yours.

John
