33 has occult meaning and it seems like 33 is common in the news. 33 deaths reported here, 33 this 33 that. Then again confirmation bias is aslo a thing.

The most important meaning I associate with #33 is that was the age of Jesus when the world crucified him. What appeared evil, to publicly execute an innocent man in the prime of his life, was actually victory for his believers. He became a curse for us, making us free from sin and death. As Jesus said, it is finished!

Yes that is one reason. 33 Chackras I believe, Verebre in the spine and 33 degrees in free masonry. Also in numerology it is said to be a transformative number of years in ones life. Jesus certainly, and for myself I got sober at 33 years old so it is also special to me.

Probably loads more, which may or may not mean anything.

Good on you for being sober at 33! I had my own struggles with excessive alcohol consumption, but have now been sober for over a decade. The Lord himself has a special wine, heavenly not earthly, which I am waiting for him to offer me.

Good for you my friend! Every single sober day is a blessing and I will have seven years may 10th. (God willing).

I needed that little reminder, thanks!

May 10 is my birthday! What are the chances that would be the day you count your years of sobriety? God bless you, and may you receive strength to stay sober and to overcome all the temptations of the flesh. I pray you finish your race well.

It was sort of a birthday for me as well. 5-10-15 was the was he end of one era and he begging of another for me. One thing I have noitced in that time is that synchronicities like these seem to happen a lot in these "odd or god?" moments. Almost like they are a byproduct of divine intervention? lol I don' know.

Thanks for he support. I wish the same for you. Never know when you may need it or need to give it away to someone that needs it.
