Geez PB....
I was in and out of AA ...up and down in sobriety for
4 bloody years before I finally quit 
:
Yes...you too will suceed ...it's a process for some of us.
I have no recovery halo....that's for darn sure!!
On my way out to a noon meeting and lunch
with fellow AA members after.
I go early to make up for the years
I was sliding around.
Forward we go...sometimes quickly...sometimes slowly.
