I’m beefing up my LinkedIn profile and was like, “Ugh. It’s SO NOT FAIR that I can’t add my time doing service and working w sponsees in AA under Volunteers Experience!”#nohumility #willkeepcomingbac

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

You guys are great. Serious question for all... when was the last time you drank and why was it the last time?

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

Sober and Vegan a year and 4 months now. Feeling great and more creative than ever

How many meetings do you go to a weekend what's your time? I go to 2-4 and I have 15 years.

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

I'm struggling. people places and things. the place is work and the person is a co-worker. I had a few drinks yesterday. ill hit an AA mtg tomorrow. I'll keep trying.

8 years sober today! I love AA.

At an in-office happy hour I once had a coworker shout out loud that she doesn’t trust people who do not drink upon discovering I had OJ in my champagne glass. #rude #IdidntGiveAfuck

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

Dry January. Anyone have it turn into the kick off for a longer term plan? Considering this.
