(5,824 posts)76. Thanks Tikki!
19 years for you, and closing in on 20, one day at a time. Nice quit ya got going.
My sister, who was 10 years ahead of me in AA, presented me with a special coin to commemorate my 20 years.
She lived a long and happy life. She's gone now but I still carry that coin.

I have a thing for carbonated beverages. Mainly straight cola and cola with other flavors.
