Well......2-1/2 years sober.....that IS GREAT news!!!!

I don't think we need to become friends with everyone we meet at our meetings. I get so much from the people at my meetings when they share their experiences. I gain strength from their words. I learn from them. I think you must have a lot of great experiences to share and the example of your sobriety can provide a gentle light for the path of others.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to become actual friends with someone to teach them. You don't have to tell them what to do to teach them. Sometimes it's just your light that shows them the way.

gentle hugs
