A VERY SPECIAL DAY FOR “OUR PATTI”.. FEB 19, 26..(1 / 2)..
Patti celebrates February the 19th, 2000, as the beginning date of her current trip along the Road to Recovery.
At 12 midnight, with great love and pride, I presented the below Anniversary Medallion to Patti.
TWENTY SIX YEARS and “counting”.

Patti really locked into the words “TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE” on the above coin. I mentioned to her those words are from Shakespeare.
In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3, Polonius says to his son Laertes..” This above all. To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not be false to any man.”
Amazing! Absolutely, Positively Amazing! Thank You My Dearest Patti for letting me join you on your journey.
Patti and I “could write a book” about our journey together.
Happy Anniversary to You..

Proud of you, Patti. You’ve been through some harrowing times and have faced them with courage and determination. Here are 26 Atta girls!
Thank You so very, VERY MUCH Gullible. I really appreciate your support. Patti
Congratulations, Patti! 26 years is impressive and not easy to do. I’m so glad you have stayed on this path. I may be a bit (definitely) biased, but I think it’s the best path in the world (at least for us.)
Thank you Kathleen. This IS a great path to be on, especially with people like you who are so supportive. Each day is such a blessing. Love and hugs. Patti ❤🫂🤗
Congratulations my sweet Patti on 26 years of sobriety! Im so honored to be on this journey with you and thank you for all your support and encouragement along the way, you are truly a blessing and a gift from God! Blessings and love always!
Ginny, oh Ginny.. Thank you for your comment, and for all the love and support you have continually sent over the years. You are always there through sunny and stormy days. What a wonderful gift you are. Onward we go!! Lots of love, prayers and hugs!! Patti ❤🙏🫂
Wowsa! “Put another candle on your AA Birthday cake. You’re (we, too! lol) another year older today!” BOOP-BOOP! You and me grew up in ‘Cali’ as the local yokels refer to us…we know who sang this song, eh? lol
Patti you are my inspiration and guiding light for showing me/all of us how to live a life of reality, endless grace and dignity! Love. It’s truly a love affair, ain’t? Another day to ‘trudge our road of happy destinies as we walk each other home’, eh?
I am humbled and deeply honored to be one of your innumerable friends.
Joy! Joy!….Happy, happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sending endless Laughter, Joy and Love on this most special day! Looking forward to many more adventures with you and Cap!

Thank you Michael for all of the kind, beautiful words expressing how closely we hold one another. We’ve been on this path and journey together for many years, and it’s always been comforting knowing we have loved ones by our side. The band plays on and we continue marching, hand in hand. Love and hugs to you and Lil Bit. Patti ❤🫂🤗
