Thank you all.

This afternoon I was at my regular Saturday N.A. meeting (one of my home groups and the meeting where it all started) getting my third black key ring and I could remember sitting there the first day, in awe of people getting their 90 day key ring. Four years was not even on my radar at that time, yet here I am today with four years clean and and four years sober.

About all I know for sure is that I didn't do it all by myself. The list of people who have had a direct, positive impact on my recovery is too long to recite anymore. Some of the people on the list were in my life for only one meeting, almost as if they were there just to deliver the four or five sentences that would stick with me, but I am truly grateful for all the help I have received.

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
"Let's get together and feel all right."
Lyrics from "One Love" by Bob Marley

For me, today, it's all good (except when it's not and even then it's one h**l of a lot better than it was).

Tony
