Happy,joyous,and free

My name is Bill. I have sober for just over 41 years. I can remeber early on my sponsor would tell me live the steps in your life on a daily basis and you will become happy, joyous and free from the bondage of self. I thought he was full of ---- but guess what he was correct . I found that to be true and I think you can too

Welcome, Billy! It’s great to have more experienced members here. I used to idolize “old timers”, until one fellow told me the secret to becoming one - don’t drink and don’t die! In other words, we really only know one thing, how to not take a drink one day at a time. And that, I have found, makes everything else possible and tolerable and precious.

I hope you stick around. Like @Englishd , I’d live to hear more of your story.

I’m an alcoholic named Dan. It’s been a long time since I have been obsessed with alcohol. I owe that to the grace of my higher power and the program of AA.
