By
the power of grace and with the help of some wonderful people, today I
celebrate 25 years of sobriety. I can remember what 25 days felt like, so it
amazes me that this much time has gone by. Personal transformation is a long
hard road, with many a winding turn, most of which we can’t see coming at all.
I can’t control the vagaries of Fate or the sometimes-traumatic emotional turns
of my life, but I CAN choose to be sober today. It has given me my life back,
and continues to be the best choice I can make.
