Adventure in Sobriety


Sometimes my recovery regime from alcoholism is just my "chemo" or "dialysis". Other times, it is an inspiration for doing the things I always dreamed of doing. Two weeks ago I completed the Chicago Triathlon on August 30, 2009. My mother, my aunt Robin, and my brother's girlfriend, Susan, were there and I completed a race at 47 years old that I truly believed was IMPOSSIBLE when I was 33 years old and only did the swim portion in a relay. Yesterday I completed the OUC Orlando Downtown Triathlon. All people who live, die. But some people who die have never really lived. I was dead in my alcoholism. Today I am alive in every sense of the word. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
