Thanks Syd 40 years ago I heard a 79 year old physician claim his second year anniversary emblem. He said: "These have been the two happiest years of my life!" I am so grateful that you and I (at a mere 82 and 7 months tomorrow) did not have to wait as long as he did for the promises to come true. It is very likely I will claim my 44the chip later this year unless I get whipped off to the great meeting in the sky prematurely.
I'm 65 and a poet, too. It's hard not to fall into alcohol or food during these dark times. This interview, your spirit and story, were a tonic of health to me today. Thank you ~

Thank you! My entire nervous system opened reading this. The wisdom !
Great conversation. Thank you.
Our mothers are the ones hardest to get over in my experience.
This is a great write. I will share it with my recovering friends.
I just celebrated my 19th Sober Birthday two days ago. I’m *so* lucky.
Congrats.
I also enjoyed every word of this (and the photos) and will read this again! Warmly, a non-drinker (January 2019)
