Well there it was. One year sober. I'm only a few hours into my new personal record and have so many people to thank. If you are reading this you are one of the many who helped me get here. Be prepared because I'll be needing you again tomorrow as I shoot for 366 days! I want to especially thank some certain people.
1. My therapist who helped me work out all of these emotional muscles that were atrophied from lack of use.
2. Upon Awakening. My 6:45am home group. The most serenity before 8:00am than most people have all day.
3. My forgiving, patient and wise sponsor who helped me rediscover God and come to know Him in my own way.
4. Banana Girl who taught me to not be so hard on myself and showed me a love that helped me feel safe as I grieved the loss of my mother.
5. Charles who took me under his wing and rooted for me every day.
6. The Wiseguys who started this journey with me and are my new frat brothers.
7. The greatest wife ever known to man. She has worked as hard as I have through this all.
8. Two special little girls who have been a reminder each day what a gift my life is if I work for it.
9. Tony Fishstyx for pulling his head out and working working working.
10. God. What a relief it is to have you in my heart again.

I loved your list. Wasn't 08 a leap year maybe you need to add that day to your record.
Tony,
Know that I am honored to be so high up on the list, but really, when all is said and done this is God and you. Congrats! I am sorry to have missed it, but we can celebrate when I get back. LU J.

Tony,
I am so proud of you. This journey you have embarked on and have succeeded at, will lead you to a life of empowerment and happiness!! This is were you have needed to be. Congratulations Bro!
Congratulations on one year.
A wonderful gift in staying sober one day at a time, learning to put our trust in something greater than ourselves. How in letting go and surrendering, we get something we never thought we could have.
Way to go.
Great post..happy sobriety :)
Keep sharing!
Congratulations on achieving one year of sobriety. Glad you acknowledged all your hard work 'cause it is hard work. Way to go.
I liked the gratitude you expressed to your Higher Power. It's a paradox in that we could never have sobered up without God and yet to stay sober we have to work work work.
Like you said, one day at a time.
Congrats on 1 year! Gives me hope.
