You know, i have heard it all from different people in AA. Some say the pink cloud can last forever, some say not, some say they never felt it. . .some say almost everyone relapses at some point, some say you never have to. ..some are happy in recovery, some aren't.
I choose to make my life and my recovery mine. I listen to other people's experiences, and learn what I can. But this is my life, and I will grab it and make the most of it.
