Sobriety’s great. Who knew we’d get naked women, too? It certainly wasn’t mentioned specifically in the promises.

Congrats!

Congratulations!!  
With AA help my stepfather was sober the last 5 years of his life.  
Growing up with an alcoholic I have some familiarity with the problem and you have accomplished something worthy of praise.
