what a nite !

I wanted to share something really special , as some may know last monday was my 5 yr soberity B-day , I was sposed to attend a meeting but due to some things the small meeting was delayed till tonite to celebrate my special day which wasnt any problem .
So today I went with my sponceree to the citys and did some girl friend bonding and sharing of our soberity , shes currently at 38 days and im veryyyyy proud of her , But she hadnt been back to our local meeting since her last time there while she was using ( didnt know at the time ) so hadnt faced the table since then , But she mentioned today that she was ready to face it and i was pleased as it was my celebration nite and I wanted her to join and understood if she didnt , But as the meeting went on and such I was told that she had something for me . She gave me my 5 yr coin. OMG this ment the world to me for my best friend whos come so far and to be joining me on this day and well you get the idea , To someone not in the program of recovery its hard to understand when im commin from but this was one of the best gifts ive ever gotten in my soberity . there was a reason she showed today and she or i had no idea this was to be giving to me , Coins are the thing most big clubs do ours is only 4-5 . so i wasnt expecting this at all and it made it even more special . we hold our meeting in the church and the Paster whos only been there for 4 months now was invited to our meeting to get a understanding AA hes new . Only a yr under graduate and 4 months and wasnt fimiular with AA and how things work , having him there incase he has someone who needs our assistence and program can help that person . But at first i was a lil uncomfortable with him being there . just getting to know my HP myself just was surprised at his presence there . But he was a really nice guy , young and had interestend in how and what makes us who we are , In the end i was glad he was there .Might even go listen to his sermon SO this was a wonderful wonderful day Im soooo greatful and glad i was there tonite and Cindy being there made it even more special. I just wanted to share what i was feeling and i dont even thing my emotions are possible to put into words right now ..... just am sooooooo glad i made the choice to be sober and what a wonderful thing it is .. Thanks for being here .. Mrs O
