This Sunday marks my 15th year of sobriety. Without god's grace and the men and women of AA who have been there day after day and year after year I would not be writing this. It is to all those folks and everyone else in my life I dedicate this day.

To borrow heavily -- we share our experiences, strengths and hopes with each other that we may solve our common
problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. This works, my friends and I am proof.

I am grateful to all of you, as all of you have had a role to play whether you know it or not. I think of and pray for, those who still suffer and for them there is hope and a, way out. it is true.
