22 years sober today!

I'm flapping out of my hermit henhouse long enough to jump up and down and squawk that I am grateful INDEED to God and the company of (those) fellow path walkers to celebrate 22 years of continuous sobriety today. One of the Traditions of my secret club suggests strongly that I not mention its name, but y'all know whose doors and rooms have welcomed me since early March of 1987.

I am SO darn grateful. 

The cake visual and sumptuous yum was from my 2008 July birthday (the belly button kind) with Susan & Klaus in Georgia. Can you believe I took a 2-month, 8000-mile (nearly) road trip and then 60 days later was hospitalized with leukemia? What timing, eh?

As for "the other disease," I'm still hatching up a Plan and praying my way through it. There is as well not a small amount of physical doingness involved. I should have Something to say in a few weeks. I shall plagiarize Tom Robbins and cackle, 'ha ha, ho ho and hee hee!'.
