25 years clean and sober. One day at a time. 9,125 of them. What’s inside, as my old friend Adam sang, is the feeling of calm, serenity, purpose and the ultimate feeling of not being alone. May many others share the same illness and solution. For all those struggling with addiction and shame, there are others here who care. My hand in yours. Our hands in yours. XO JLC
