My Sobriety birthday is May 21, 1983. Although I have been sober a while this disease never fails to show me it is there.Usually in a newcomer I see the pain and powerlessness.I also see my own shortcomings in others.That keeps me in check and keeps me in the reality that treatment is a daily practice and I will be OK by doing and sharing the things that I have learned in the Rooms and through all of the People who have shared it with me !!!
