24 more please.
"Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru." -- Joko Beck

So cool that you are going to be a sponsor, Dane; the sponsee is very lucky. I bet that the sponsorship will be a very good experience for both of you.

Congrats to all who remain sober and, especially to today's celebrants! To those who are struggling, just hang in there and, work your plan.

If I have a chance, I will let you know that I'm alive and doing okay. Otherwise I will see you all in about 12 days. And it is for events like this that make being sober totally worth it. I get to be there 100% with the people that matter the most in my life.
Have a safe and very wonderful time, Altoids.
We will miss you.

Relying on God, however we understand God's presence, is foreign to many of us. We were encouraged from early childhood to be self-reliant. Even when we desperately needed another's help, we feared asking for it. When confidence wavered, as it so often did, we hid the fear--sometimes with alcohol, sometimes with pills. Sometimes we simply hid at home. Our fears never fully abated.
Finding out, as we all have found, that we have never needed to fear anything, that God was never distant, takes time to sink in. Slowly and with practice it will become natural to turn within, to be God-reliant rather than self-reliant.
Whatever our needs today, God is the answer.
There is nothing to fear. At last, I have come to know God. All roads will be made smooth.
24 hrs. more for this grateful inactive alcoholic.
