David, the spiritual foundation makes for a right nice house, doesn’t it? I’ve depended on your example as a demonstration that the real work is internal, and the exterior circumstances will sort themselves only when our insides are in order.
Thank you, brother!

Couldn’t hace stayed sober without out! Easy to get sober as I made that call hundred times, without the work I could never STAY sober.
If this drunk can get sober, anyone can. Meetings worked once I had an open mind and an open heart.

Well done, my man.
You were such a help to me back then.
I’m happy we’re still on the path together.
Sometimes I forget how incredible that actually is. In a few days I’ll have 51 months and yep, on a certain level, the milestones are just another day.
But when I was starting out, four years of sobriety was impossible to fathom. So now, when I count the months or the years, its less about “look what I did” and more about “what can I do with this?”
I think I kind of try to leverage my sober time.

Well shit, I didn’t know you were back! Welcome back brother.
Absolutely, when you’re like 30, 60 or 90 days sober, it’s like standing at the base of Mt Everest and not seeing the top to achieve something like 5 years. At 5 years though, I’m not at the top and I still cant see it. I suppose never seeing it is the goal, to die sober.
It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey to a better self… the journey never ends.

I couldn’t agree more!
We still can’t see the top, but the climb is getting easier.

I love ALL of this sooooo much!! Your realness, your authenticity and your ability to help others has always moved me. Your presence matters and damn man, the things you have faced in your sobriety haven’t been easy but they sure have been worth it. Nothing changes if nothing changes and your changes are beautiful to witness. You are a true inspiration David! I still think of you often, especially on this keto journey I’ve been on the last few months…Your impression is long lasting. Keep on keepin’ on my old non-caustic friend. And congratulations on your kick ass milestone, one day at a time you’re still climbing that mountain and while we will be on the journey forever-the views are sure freaking awesome!!
