I first came to Alcoholics Anonymous on June 27th 1988 and stayed sober for 8 years but then had a slip for about 1 week and went into rehab I had three more attempts of three and four years sobriety before finally getting sober on 13th of April 2009 so I am approximately over 11 1/2 years sober now and my home group is Paradise Point Sunday topic. I was 41 when I first came in and 61 when I came in last.
