I am a grateful recovered alcoholic, and my name is Diane.  My sobriety date is December 31, 1988 and I am a member in good standing with my 12-step fellowship.  I have completed the 12 steps and I practice these priniciples in all my affairs today.  I have a home group, a sponsor, and I sponsor women.  I freely give what was given to me.  Because today, I am responsible.

On December 31, 1988, I was twelve stepped into the program of Alcoholics Anonymous by a very good friend.  I was told I only had to put the drink down for 24-hours at a time and I could split those 24 hours up into as many increments as possible.  Through the help of a sponsor, a higher power, and a home group, I have done this consistently for 23 years.  It works; It really does. 

Today I am building this web site to honor all of the people who have helped me stay sober and to try to pay back a little of what was give to me.  My hope is someday that it will touch the lives of alcoholics everywhere in someway which will make a difference.  A difference like has been made in my life.

Thank you,

Di
