@Soberverse Six years sober today on my 48th birthday. I was a broken, convicted felon, hopeless variety, wishing for death. Today, lead a recovery ministry, community leader, recovery advocate, father, husband, and productive member of society. Just another example of that we do recover!
Today, I celebrate my 48th birthday and six years of sobriety today. I'm living proof recovery is possible, and thanks be to God for all the good in my life that sobriety has given me. My family and I spent the day on campus at my Alma Mater, Chattanooga Mocs.
@RacheLaneMartin You're the only other person I've heard that's actual birthday is their sober birthday. March 19th, I'll celebrate 48/6. That's pretty awesome. Congrats!
@RacheLaneMartin That's such a blessing. Treatment friends can make the coolest stories of hope. My two best friends we also met in treatment. We are all three named Matt, and we all three have been sober for close to six years. I wouldn't want to do life or recovery without them.
@Soberverse 3-19-2018 Recovery for me means no mind altering substances since that day, which happens to be my birthday. I now get to celebrate my birth and rebirth on the same day.
@LastWeekTonight@iamjohnoliver Big fan of the show, and I would love to see your take on this story. Roughly seven million people in Tennessee and about 500,000 will never be able to vote. This is about as bad as the time our state made being homeless a crime.
