In thought and reflection sharing 31 years of uninterrupted recovery
Permalink  

On a cold December 2nd morning in 1984,I came to in a farmhouse in Rhinebeck New York, from another drug induced evening and finally rose to my knees asking for mercy and admitting I was an addict and I was progressing in a state of devastation and disaster since early 1959...I was 6 months into my 3rd marriage and was watching it all fall apart again.Through the God of my understandings grace and mercy,daily work in the Solution, the application of the 12 Steps of Recovery in all areas of my life, I celebrate, humbly, today in gratitude for another day of uninterrupted freedom from active drug addiction,31 years CLEAN ,a day at a time, after more than a quarter century caught in the grip. I am now living a life better than I had ever known before(even though I was only 11 when my plumment on the downbound train to oblivion began,progressing rapidly to the final ends..jails .instituitions ,deriliction and on deaths doorstep.Please join me in thought and prayer for all those who continue to suffer from active addiction and know there is a Message of Hope and a promise of freedom available for those who will do whatever it takes to remain free from this horrible illness..It begins by putting down the substance and getting to the exact nature of whats going on inside,remaining in a fit spiritual condition and givng back,to the best of ones ability to those still struggling daily.To many of my posse who didn't make it through the storm,I spend this day in memory and reflection of God's Grace(the unmerited favor bestowed on this ole hardhead)In support and always in Prayer...smile emoticon http://seekingserenitytacoma.com//upl/2015/05/IMG_0842.jpg

Mike you said it all right there brother, congratulations and thats just a slap on the back, we know its so much more involved then what we see , i thank God that he chooses some of us derelicts to know his love and grace, a few of us are hand picked I think to carry on the message, like disciples :) thanks for all your support here and across the world.

Congratulations!  

We alone can do it but we can't do it alone. You are no big deal just as I am no big deal. Yet your 31 years Clean is a big deal as a testament to the truth and power of God working through NA as is my 35 years Clean last Friday.

 Had a mind boggling thought. This time next year the 3 of us will have a combined 100 years Clean!
