Although I'm tired and beat and worried about my sister. Today, is the day that I celebrate 25 yrs of being a member of Alcholics Anonymous. That is one year longer than I was a drunk.
I've been having problems with this because I have be doubting the quality of my sobriety and wondering if I should just accept a one year token instead of a 25 yr token.
I feel like I was a drunk for 24 yrs and now I've be sober for 24 and now that it's my 25th yr of sobriety, shouldn't I just be celebrating 1 yr?
Doesn't the 24 yrs of sobriety just make up of the 24 yrs of using? So aren't I, really, only sober for 1 yr.
The crap we put our selves through when we are tired and worried about family members drives me crazy.
Congratulations on being sober for 25years! It is a very good accomplishment in my opinion. I wish you all the best in many more years of sobriety! Keep up the good work no matter how you feel and no matter what anyone says. It is worth it and you will see the very good outcome of it as well. I wish you all the best! Have a great weekend and keep on keeping on!
Take Care and Kisses,

Last night I went to a meeting and shared my concerns about my sobriety and my sister. A friend told me I should accept the 25 yr token, not as an accomplishment but as a testominty as to what I have endured and not returned to drinking for any reason.
