Michael B. Says:

I've been three years sober now to think about all the meaningful missed opportunities I blew for the opportunity to get loaded. But, I somehow managed to keep my employ of 30 years and a super-wife who, lived through that war and refused to give up on me. No "thank you" could be big enough for all that. Growing old is mandatory, thank heavens the growing up element waited for silly me.

Note:

The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
