Grateful for 27 years of AA sobriety.
Permalink  
 


Thank you all members of this board both old and new. Many of you will never know how much you mean to me.

My 1st entry into AA was on the 13 April 1988. I needed 4 months more to convince me that I was powerless over alcohol. I re-entered AA on 19 August 1988. Now I was ready to embark on the 12 step program, with total honesty. I thank God that He had saved me and given me a new life.

I lost my only grandson, Nathanael last week. My heart is heavy but my spirit is strong because God is with me. AA's 12 steps work in all circumstances of my life.

Congratulation on 27 BIG ONES ... ... ... I pray I live long enough to match that ...


I trust you read my PM to you last week when you told me about your grandson ... that message still stands ... and I didn't break the news to the Board because I felt you would do that when you wanted everyone else to know ... hope I wasn't wrong in doing so ... You know I love you Brother and I'd give anything to be with you during this very difficult time ...


God Bless you and your family Gonee,
Pappy

Congrats on 27 sober years! That's awesome and I'm proud of you! Keeping your program together thru all the ups and downs of 27 years is a huge accomplishment. I felt a great deal of sadness when I read about your grandson. I'll continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.

Congratulations on your anniversary Gonee. It is amazing what we can accomplish with God's help. I am so sorry for your loss, such a terrible thing to happen. But I know God will help you through that too, just like He has with everything else life has thrown at you over the last 27 years.

God bless, my friend.
