On May 7th, I celebrated 3 years of continous sobriety.

There were countless times over the years in the midst of severe alcoholism where I dreamed of staying sober for just one day.

I remember when I received my termination letter from my former employer on July 4th, 2007. After reading this letter a couple of times I recall that I felt some relief in that they didn’t cite my drinking as a reason for firing me.
