A Partner In Recovery

Lea and I will have a year of sobriety tomorrow.  I always wanted a friend with similar time in recovery to hang out with.  Now I have one in spades.  We spend a large part of every day together.  Today we went to her clinic, a meeting, her errand, lunch together at a fancy place to celebrate our time and my belly button birthday tomorrow and then home.

Tonight we are making a birthday cake to take to the morning meeting as a way of celebrating our year of sobriety.  Most meeting people at the meeting are in early sobriety and they really enjoy having treats at the meeting.  That certainly makes the room a more welcoming and friendly place for those new to AA.


I am grateful to have a close friend with similar time in recovery and for us to have a year of sobriety tomorrow.  It is a big achievement for any alcoholic even if it is my third time and a huge accomplishment for Lea.
