Thx all - for helping me get this far
Permalink  
 

Greetings all,

I want to thank you, very sincerely, for being part of my sobriety - getting to the two year mark.

Two years ago, my husband (of 18 years) and I got sober together.

One year ago, he was diagnosed with the cancer that took him from this world within 3 months.

Thus, I missed my 1 year birthday by being at the hospital.

Point being (not soliciting pity), that if the simple tools of this program could get this particular drunk to this point - it IS indeed a miracle!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - ALL!

Congratulations on the two years Zster! It is not easy when you lose a spouse and best friend-I know. But you managed to stay sober and that is a wonder of wonders. May you have many more occasions to celebrate...Tim

P.S.  Phil, you are correct.

Dear Zster,

Gods Special Blessings to you on your Birthday. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear AlCI, Happy Birthday To you! and many more.

To say I am sorry for your lose sounds trivial. You remind me of a very Special Woman that died 1 yr ago. She left her husband who was in the program, family, friends and the A.A. community at a lose. Not to mention my lose of her being in my life as a Sponsor, friend, and a Sister in Christ. I am still mourning her death at times still today. Brain Cancer took her in less than 3 months at 49 years old.

I have my husband. I can't even imagine what it would be like after being married to him 12 years next week. To have God take him home would really throw me a curve. But like you I pray that I too would get through it with Grace and Dignity.

My Sobriety Birthday is February 19, 1994 and we have walked through just about every tragedy including the death of all my Grandparents. That isn't the same as a husband or a wife, or child though. Which I am so grateful to GOD. I hope that I can here how you are doing while you are walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, that you are fearing "No Evil." You are in my prayers!

Many of GOd Special Blessings to you,
Thanks for letting me Post!
Blessed
