Today I’m 32. And exactly a year and 8 months sober. I will have to attach that little addendum to my personal timeline for the rest of my life. That’s okay. It’s cheesy but it’s also a substantial accomplishment so it’s okay. Without it I’d be a mess (and not a hot one) or deceased, so I might as well fully embrace it

Hi! I was parousing through Bart's friends (I'm a friend of his here on LJ) and thought it was really awesome to see another friend of Bill and Bob's. Congrats on a year and 8 months! That's freaking huge! I've been hitting some rough spots concerning my own recovery lately, and just thought it was really neat to make what I thought was a random hop onto a friend's flist to find someone else in recovery, too.

Just wanted to say that. Thanks and congratulations again!

Hi! I was like, where do I know Bill and Bob from? Isn't Bob the guy my friend from high school married? Anyway, I get it now!

And thank you very much. I don't know what to say except for recovery is rife with very rough patches and plateaus. Please let me know if you need to talk even though I am just an internet person. I really mean that.
