Today I celebrate seven years of continuous sobriety.
I received a congratulatory email with the following prayer. It says it all.
Dear Higher Power,
Thank you for the strength and conviction to continue with the task you have entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me through the many obstacles in my path and for keeping me resolute when all seemed hopeless. Thank you for your protection and the many signs along the way. Thank you for any good I may have done along the way. Thank you for the friends I have made, please watch over them as you watched over me. Thank you for allowing me Serenity, giving me Courage and granting me Wisdom. I will go to my rest in peace knowing I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith.
love,
Scott

Scott, Happy 7 years! I hope you are well, my friend! I still recollect (with much fondness) our meeting for coffee one day in houston and a couple of great meetings at Lambda...
Be well!
O, Happy Day, Scott!
I wish I could be there to give you a big hug. You have helped me so much.
I love you to pieces!
You're my gyro.
Congratulations! Have a wonderful year.
Congrats brother
GREAT prayer. Thanks for sharing it with us. And CONGRATULATIONS ON 7 FREAKIN' YEARS!!!! How awesome, Scott W. I consider you one of my "online mentors" (in fact, "The Guru") in the recovery world, encouraging me when I was still out there, and challenging me to grow once I finally "got" it. Hugs and kisses to you as you fight the good fight and continue on in your Recovery. (((HUGS)))
Many congratulations to you, Scott. The prayer does say it all. Thanks for sharing it here.

Congrats on having 7 years! i know this comes a little late-now it would be 7 years and 1.5 months! What a huge achievement! I have 68 days (i'm counting days on my site countingdays.org), and 7 years seems just so major. But 90 looks achieveable, and I'll have that on the 28th of this month.
Thanks!
