9-Months Today... Thank You

[el_em_en_oh]

I'm picking up my 9-month chip tonight. 10/07/09 is my SOB date, so I'm a couple of days past, but tonight's meeting is the one I want to pick up from, so I waited the additional 2 days.

Thank you all for your support over the last little while. I only recently discovered this place, but you have all helped me in my recovery, each in your own way. I didn't think I'd make it 9 hours, let alone 9 months, and these last several weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me.

Reading people's stories/posts, sharing my experience, strength & hope, combined with my daily regimen of prayer, Big-Book and talking to my sponsor, have kept me sober, one day at a time.

I love all of you f*cking addicts and drunk ba*tards, that's for sure... each and every one of you;-)

I love you guys.

You flight has been booked.

KLM flight KL1708 departing at 20:45 on 7/9/10... it was only €1607!

You have to lay over in Amsterdam for the night, but I've got you booked at The Grand Amsterdam Sofitel Demeure, so you should be alright.

See you soon!
