My Grand sponsor and I rode up to Savanna Ga. last year to give my sponsor his 25 year medallion.
In return, his home group gave us each a small toy dinosaur. ( I think they were trying to tell us something) If I can continue to do the next right thing, Aug. 9 will also be 9125 days for me as well. Congratulations ... Gino ! |
congrats gino I was really surprised at the content when I opened the post. it does prove we are more in numbers than we realize. my last drink / drug was 8/21/1985 and I thought all the fun was going to end! I also have to admit I have not been to a meeting in over 10 years. but still have some contact . I have my 25 year chip I would proudly pass it to you p m me your address

Curious, what color chip is the 25 year mark? |
Congrats Gino and I wish you continued success.

Nice to hear.

I really wanted to thank everyone. I have gotten tons of emails and PM's. So many people shared stories, took time to offer congratulations, and Waycool marine generously offered me his 25 year chip.
I can't tell you how touched I am. A friend asked me "why the hell would you make that post and put all that out there, aren't you embarrassed?". I'm so glad I did! Hopefully, it will give someone hope and help them realize that no matter how bad things are, they can be completely different if you want it bad enough. Again, Thank you everyone!!! |
That is fantastic. You should be proud. Heck I don't know you except for OSO, and I'm proud of you (and everyone else with a similar accomplishment). You should go back to a meeting and get your 25 year chip, not just for you, but as the inspiration for folks who are just trying to make it a week, a month, or a year. You could make such a difference in their lives.

Merry Christmas Gino!!! And Happy New Year!! Congrats :)
