Sober 14 Years, 8 months no SI
 

Hi Everyone.

As of today, I've been sober, not had a drink of alcohol, in 14 years! Out here in Southern California, we make a big deal about it!

It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it.

You here have helped so much in getting through this last year. I thought you all might like to celebrate with me!

I'm 14 years sober! Yay!:hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop:

Celeeeeebrate good time come on! Haha you gave me an excusse to break into song!

Congrates that is amazing! Hope you have an amazing day!

*Passes out celebratory cookies* Congrats! Great job!

Today one of my friends is coming over and he and I and my husband will go out to a 1940's style restuarant for dinner, that will include a peanut butter cup shake.

At every meeting I usually go to every week, I will celebrate, that is the custom here in Southern California. We stand up and make a little speech about how we did it.

The meeting I go to on Thursday nights is a "chip" meeting, so I should get a chip there!

Dare I ask what a peanut butter cup shake is?

14 years.... wow that's amazing Susan! Congratulations!

well done susan, i hope this strength stays with you always xx

Oh that's absolutely fantastic!!!!! *hugs* so proud of you!!! I knew you could do it! :D

As it turns out, my friend couldn't make it for dinner so i'm sulking a bit.
I don't know what the word in the UK for milkshake is. This one is flavored with peanut butter cup candy, peanut butter and chocolate combo.

Tonight it seems really real. I got my chip. I keep it in my wallet in my purse. The number of years is in Roman numerals. One of my friends gave me the most wonderful card. And he made a point of coming home in time from a business trip to be there tonight!

I have lots of leftover cake to eat in the next day or two. Chocolate with walnuts from the morning meeting, german chocolate from tonights.

Now it really feels real! Yay!
