Celebrated 31 years clean and sober today

I used to love my drugs and alcohol but I like my sobriety more.

On drugs I was heading steadily downhill but once I got clean I totally turned my life around and got a job, started college and started walking or taking the bus to five or six AA, CA and NA meetings a week. Eventually moved out on my own and got a car and made a friend in the program and numerous acquaintances.

I don’t miss all the drama and craziness and spending all my money on dope. Now my life is a lot calmer and when people leave me alone I’m stable and have peace of mind.

I couldn’t get clean alone, AA saved me.

Good on ya, Mate! That’s a truly wonderful accomplishment.

I don’t do drugs myself, and I’ve switched to drinking light beer every now and then. I don’t really get drunk anymore. I find I get tired after a few suds…then have a bite to eat…then take a nap.

I think because I’m on Abilify injections, and I have that juice in my system, it prevents me from drinking too much. At least, I think that is what’s happening.

The movie Airplane should have won the Oscar in it’s year, but for some unknown reason, comedies just never nab the big prize.
