Do you still have your 24 hour coin?
Although my yearly coins are a great reminder of what the program and my HP have done for me, the most important reminder has always been my 24 hour coin.
That is the one that helped me get through each day then get enough days to recieve other coins. It helps me remember I only have 24 hours. That is all I have to live each day. I can easily be 24 hours away from my next drink if I do not work on my spiritual condition each day.
By the way, I did not find there to be much difference in 3 and 5 years. Each had its own struggles, lessons, and life stuff happen. I am not sure why people make those statements in the program. I find encouragement is a much more effect tool for people.
Hang in there. Consider putting your 24 hour coin in your pocket.
