Ray, Thanks for a wonderful story. When I started sobriety I could not figure out why people with long periods of sobriety still went to meetings. It was months before I understood. Today, I am so grateful for the people like yourself that continue to give and support us in early sobriety and longafter. Anyone that is referred to as an "old timer" in my AA communittee is honored and I look at them with high esteem.
You are a great inspiration!
