now hold on to that Pink Cloud Zip!

here's a topic i can really sink my new teef in!

back when i sobered up, and i mean sobered up, not just not using.

i remember going to some NY outgoing speaker comitments and talking about the Pink Cloud, and how i still had it...

some people, including my first sponsor were trying to knock me off of it, and the Rats of Additions too!
hell, one day sponsor even said'''

"when the hell are you going to get off that Pink Cloud of yours?"

i was damm P.O'd

then said, sorry you feel that way bub!

its your stuff, not mine...

anyway, those old timers came up to me after the meetings and said, Sonny, mind you i was 50 then!

Sonny, that Pink Cloud can last the rest of your life, if you want it to, and do the work to keep it...

it aint just that feeling of euphoria in the beginning, its with the growth of recovery, acceptence, the emotional rearangement, and called... growing up!

hell, a dear departed sober bro used to say when i came into one of the rooms,

Here comes Cloudy!

no, life aint a bed of roses everyday, and some days, it just blows...

that cloud does have some shades of pinkish grey!

its that PC that helps me to deal with it, cope with it, and not use over it!
and if i do fall,

no, i dont have a Pink Parachute!

there's plenty of room on that Pink Cloud for anyone that wants it...

all good wishes out!
