Courage2, you inspired me to read about the goddesses Ceres and Pomona. Their statues were on either side of the entrance to the Agricultural Engineering building at Cornell University. I thought they were the goddesses of wheat and wine; but Ceres rules agriculture more generally and Pomona is specifically the Roman goddess of orchards or "fruitful abundance."

Grtgrandpa: I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you were fortunate to have had such a good friend. Take care.
10:05 here in the Pacific Northwest and I'm just thrilled to be sober and looking forward to the next 24 hours.

I never had the opportunity to meet Sandy B, but his messages about the program have brought me huge relief and were instrumental in guiding my 11th Step practices. I am going to deeply miss him.
Checking in for another sober 24, dedicated to the gratitude I and many others have for Sandy B...
And for those in need of a boost, listen to his famous talk, "Drop The Rock!" from 1972.

I got drunk we stay sober
And so Sandy is here when we are here every day dropping the rocks of guilt and shame that are a part of our illness/ism.
Pain is the price I pay for the love I receive in recovery every day.
The pain is worth the price to be one of all of you. I am not like normal people, so I will have another 24 today.
Congrats to today's celebrants, and thank you all for your kind words re our loss.
