My Buddy next door, Mike

As alot of you know, I went back out , but thanks to my VERY loving God , Im coming up on 2 Mos. ! As a result of me going back out, and coming back into the world of reality A.K.A. sober, my good friend and X drinking buddy next door Mike decided he wanted to get sober too. Yesterday he picked up his 1 Mo. chip. Im so proud of him. He's like a brother to me. Just wanted to give a update , and say thank you all for being here.

Great to hear, Ron!
I think a lot of our success in the program has to do with the buddy system.

Hey Ron,
I'm Mike from Boston. I visit here from time to time. It took a year, but my best buddy Brad followed me to AA as well. Now I've got 11 years and he's got ten. I hope he never passes me. Very cool about your buddy. Hope he never passes you.

Take care,
