June 1st

It's my birthday today.  Next month I will be sober three years.  Life sure hasn't turned out the way I thought it would, but I think it is better than the plans I had.  It is more stable, more serene and on life's terms rather than my own.  That in itself is a good thing.  Left to my own devices I will drive myself into destructive and dangerous places.  With the support of my family, friends and the program, I am on course to live a more complete life.  In the end, that's all I want.  I think that's what we all want.
