Perhaps one of the most famous opening lines for a song, it was also twenty years ago today that I spent my first day doing something other than consuming alcohol... and the clock is still ticking! (Do you hear any honking in the background? It's probably just me tooting my own horn!)
The last twenty years have probably been my best, and the years before this period are those I wish I could go back and revisit. What a waste of time, potential and a burden on other people -- whether or not they even realized it.
Thank-you's are due to Jodi, who got my butt kick-started on the road to sobriety, Susan who has always been a good friend and mentor in sobriety, and Valerie who has made life with another person good enough that I have no desire to run off and hide in a bar or a bottle.
Today is going to be a gorgeous day... so I'm turning off the computer and going... outside!
