Celebrate recovery...
Some of you know that I got sober in 1979. Then in 1990 I walked away from the tables of AA, and by 1991, I was drunk again. It wasn't until I looked at a blog today that had a card there mentioning my sober birthday, did I come to realize. At that blog, I was listening to a song that I really like, that I came to realize. I came to realize that milestones in recovery should be celebrated. Recovery should be celebrated. I had become consumed by self-centeredness due to my failure in 1991. I never celebrated AA birthdays since. How self-consumed is that? I have been so wrapped-up in self, that I could not see what a gift recovery is! Imagine being so into self, that all you get are gifts without celebration! Holy shit. Today, I'm going to go by myself a one year coin. Maybe someday, I can give it to somebody in celebration.
Today I will celebrate recovery...Today, I won't give up on AA.
The music video below reminds me of AA...I pray that I never give up on it again. Thanks Gwen. See Gewn's page here Thanks to all who left comments!! Hugs.

I heard we celebrate not only for ourselves, but to show others hope as well. You well-earned that coin!
Yo man, when is your birthday?.....congrats and keep coming back....I agree with Carly.....Take good care my friend.
I agree with Carly. Celebrations of milestones are for those with less time sober than the one celebrating.
Yes we do celebrate for others as well as ourselves.

Yes sir ~ to show others It WORKS! Glad you got yourself a coin.

Wow,do you sound brainwashed or what.I cant do it without AA...I cant do it without AA.......YES YOU CAN.As long as you stay in AA you WILL fail.AA has the lowest success rate and uses mind control techniques to keep you coming back and making you believe that you cant quite without them.Youre ADDICTED to AA.They control you.
