I’m very reflective as I recorded this episode. It is the 35th yr anniversary of me getting clean and sober. I tell you a little about some funny moments around that week of time; as well as it is hitting me very hard how my parents effectively helped save me from a lifetime of misery.

Episode notes:
It still freaks me out that Zoom tells me “I’m Recording”.
I’m somber, yet excited, and exhausted, and hopeful, and all these emotions going through me…
May 27th, 35 years ago today, was the day I got clean and sober. I was 17 years and 9 months old. For some reason I’m feeling it today. That’s like 35 years, 3 and 1/2 decades, that is quite a thing. Just with love, and amazement, and awareness, and awe. I don’t mean that in an egotistical way… I am at awe at the workings of the universe. I am grateful and humbled.
Some people said some really sweet things to me today. To be able to take those thoughts in , those nice words in, in a group setting… Some people were very nice and impassioned in what they were saying. Just good things. To feel that love. And to see other people be really uncomfortable, as awesomeness was showered on me :).
I want you to know that 35 years ago, Judge Rank… I had graduated to Judge Rank. And when you graduated to Judge Rank you were in trouble.
My father was a lawyer in town, a lawyer of note, and he had worked a deal with judge Rank…
I have him the whole “I have a friend routine”. He said I’ve already heard the story, don’t go to school, or they will arrest you.
So he worked the deal… You can go to jail for 6 months or you can go to treatment. And by the grace of god I new that sobriety was the path. “Great you can go turn yourself in in jail”.
They let me go to the last day of high school and I walked out of school, got in a car, headed to the airport, and was on a plane to a treatment center.
Both my mother and father, who both passed away sober. Layed the foundation of recovery for me. Mom had dad had planted the seed of recovery in me. That initial spark took hold. That’s quite a thing I think. I’m very grateful for my parents, because they saved me a lifetime of misery. Yes they did.
