All in the Same Boat

My name is K----and I am an alcoholic. I went to my first AA meeting when I was fourteen years old, which means nothing except that I have the disease of alcoholism. Now, almost seventeen years old, I have been sober since March of 1984. The length of time sober is really of no importance to me. I am sober today, and that is how I take my program--one day at a time. I feel that quality of sobriety is more important than quantity.
