As one grows older, one
accumulates various and sundry anniversaries all of your own. Birthdays of course. Perhaps you celebrate the day you met your husband. Maybe you married him twelve years
later. Children? Perhaps I should be celebrating the year we
got our truck? Grumpy is going to be 22
this year.
What I am doing today is celebrating
a special anniversary. Two weeks after I
met George, I finally stopped drinking. I had a glass of wine one year later and that date is my official birthday.
I’m very grateful that the pressure to drink is gone, and the only thing
I have to fight now is my alcoholic thinking.
What I am celebrating today
is a new way of living and the new internal gifts that come with it. Thirty two years of wonderful gifts.
Congratulations ... Happy Birthday ... Happy Special Anniversary
ReplyDeleteHappiest of Birthdays to you. Grateful that you quit drinking and grateful to have you in my life.

ReplyDeleteHappy Special Anniversary. Though we haven't met in person I am so glad to count you as a friend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations,Mage. It amazes me that even giving up the modest amount of drinking I was doing makes such a difference in how I feel.

Yay, Mage! That's a wonderful thing to celebrate. So was it George that helped you overcome alcohol? Give him a hug for all of us.
