AA - Sobriety - Independence -

Scott and I celebrate the same Independence Day, unbeknownst to each other.

July 4 has special meaning for both of us -

15 years ago I declared my independence from a relationship that wasn't happy, hadn't been, and neither one of us had the tools to move forward.

26 years ago Scott declared his independence from alcohol. He had several friends call him and text him yesterday wishing him "Happy Birthday." Tomorrow we celebrate, as a family and with AA friends, as he receives his 26 year chip.

We both owe a lot of our happiness to knowing AA, knowing the AA 12 steps and traditions, and practicing them. These life lessons keep us sane, happy, and independently together.
