Hooray for me!
Hooray for me indeed. Yesterday would have been the day that I picked up a 13-month chip. Except, A.A. doesn’t have 13-month chips. No, monthly chips stop after the one year point. There is an 18-month chip. It is lovingly referred to the “Whiners’ Chip” in A.A. rooms.
I feel absolutely delighted today. “I am OVER one year sober.” Drug-free and alcohol-free for 13 months! I have not been able to say that since I was 14 years old.
Life is wonderful today. I am grateful for each and every day that I have now. I would never give this up for anything.
13 months sober!
