On this day,a very cold December 2nd,1984,after 25 years of total devastation to myself and all around me, 6 months into my 3rd marriage, twisted again , I lifted my head from the floor of a farmhouse in Rhinebeck New York and for the first time since I was 12 years old I finally knew I was done.I wasn't sure how I would do it,but the options were life or more of the same, oblivion on the downbound train rapidly picking up steam. Through the God of my understandings grace and mercy I will celebrate 28 years of freedom from active addiction by participating in our house of worship in the morning,,attending an afternoon Just For Today  meeting to share my ESH  giving back what was freely given to me and chill with my wife in time of reflection and joy!(for both of us)Thanks for all the help here at MIP,where I share  our message of HOPE and freedom from active addiction through trust in our Higher Power and application of the tools of our program.Yes the journey does continue,a day at a time............
