Maya,
It is stories like yours that remind me just how special discovering AA and the "awakening of our spirit” can be. Thanks for allowing me to borrow a little of your magic. Perhaps only the look on the face of a five year old on Christmas morning comes close to our "discovery" of sobriety and the life that we can have if we choose to put down the drink and pick up the book.
Best wishes and be good to yourself, you deserve it.
Jon
