By the way, I'd like to share this bit of irony with you angel.
Early in recovery, being an ACA, I sure as heck didn't like alcoholics.
The wonderful woman, my first sponsor, had a solid ten years of Alanon under her belt. After knowing her a short time she revealed she was also a recovering alcoholic
with twenty years sobriety in AA. WOW!
I loved her dearly and God was certainly working in my life when I asked an alcoholic/alanoner
to sponsor me. LOL I gained a whole new perspective on the A AND grew in compassion.
