I am sure it may pop up again but I have been feeling really swell. I can hardly wait to the next AA meeting to discuss this and the pitfalls to look out for. I am not fooling myself into thinking "i'm cured" for I know there is no cure.

What you're feeling is often referred to by AA's as a pink cloud...others may think of it as complacency (becoming too comfortable with your early sobriety). Remember...alcoholism is cunning, baffling, powerful...requiring constant vigilance...so, it's good that you have the awareness and intend to guard against "the pitfalls."

Now, hoeboe...surely you don't mean to take all the credit... Oh, that's OK...I'm sure He will forgive you.
