Off Topic...
« on: August 12, 2007, 06:22:59 PM »
Hey everybody, I just wanted to post some thoughts of a more serious note. Today is a special anniversary for me. I am seven years sober as of today, August 12th. The reason I bring this up is because a good part of my success in remaining sober is in large part because of the company that I keep. Being an alcoholic is not an easy thing. But having seven years sobriety is a milestone for me. Like I said, it is in large part because of the company that I keep. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your friendship. You may never know how much it has enriched my life. So, thanks for being the wonderful friends that you are. And here's to another seven years of successful sobriety!

 - Bill


 ... and now back to our regularly scheduled babble of the 48 Hours of Bill.

Thank you one and all...... Rob, I'll be happy to chug a six pack of root beer, but only if it is Mug, or Dad's, or Thomas Kemper, Henry Weinhardt's (yes they make an excellent root beer), IDC..... I could keep going and going and going...
... but not Barq's. That stuff is nasty!!!

That is awesome Bill, I have great respect for people who are strong enough to overcome their addictions.  Or at least trade them in for healthier new ones. :mrgreen:
