Gary/Amos's Story

Good evening, Family. My name is Gary/Amos and I am a grateful but slowly recovering alcoholic. I'm only sober today by the grace of God and the Fellowship of AA and you people in these rooms
when this journey started 21 years ago. I never thought I would be celebrating 21 years of sobriety, the longest I could put together was four years at a stretch. But something happened this time around, I hit my bottom. It was either
get sober or go to prison or a mental institution or die them so three choices I had that or get sober stop drinking and start by going to AA. And here I am 21 years later, celebrating 21 years of sobriety
this program of Alcoholics Anonymous is a fantastic program.  When I first came back. I had two sponsors, and they were hard. They had been there and done everything I had
they said, it's not going to be easy, and more not going to promise you a Rose Garden, neither
the only thing they said was, we have a solution to your problem. If you are willing to work for it, both my sponsors has passed away, but I am sure that they are both watching me right now. And I can just see and hear them. We told you, you could make it if you followed suggestions, and here I am are followed suggestions. I listened I learned, and I listen more, and I learned more. I am still
learning today, this is ongoing program, and I will be learning until the day that I leave this world and join my fellow AA members in heaven
Thank you all for my sobriety, and for 21 years of a great life. There's been hard times. There's been some bad times, but most of all. There's been good times. Thank you for my sobriety today, and that's all I have is today. God bless you all.
