This usually gets into a heated discussion..
let's all remember to respect each others way of thinking please.
I consider I was an active alcoholic for the final 5 years of my drinking.
Somehow...??.. I got the notion that I needed to double that in AA
before I got recovered.
Around 10 years..yes...I did think of myself as recovered.
The past 11 I've remained so by connecting to God
and AA daily.....
Hope everyone is enjoying their journey...whatever it might be.
I don't mind what others say...I simply wish them Joy and serenity
