Goofers your post brought back a memory from a couple of years ago. We had a gentleman who we thought was totally wheelchair ridden that had been coming to this one AA meeting I go to for about 4-5 months, this man was 84, well they were passing out chips and when they reached 6 months he forced his way upright fromn his wheelchair...... the entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, slowly he made his way to the podium for his 6 month chip and asked for his 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5month chips as well, he had been physically incapable of getting up prior to that day, but due to being sober for 6 months he had found the strength and the will to do so.

It is never to late!!!! NEVER!!!!!!

Goofers you have my prayer for you and my support, I am the grandfather of 8 myself, but a few years younger then you, I am 55.

God speed my friend!
