Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Now I am truly recovered and I did it myself.
I'm so happy.
Cherish your Big Plan, for it is pivotal in your life, and your ticket to freedom from not only the bondage of addiction, but also its hangover, the never‑ending 'process of recovery'. For my part, my 'sobriety date' means absolutely nothing, because I did not become free on the day of my last drink. The words in my Big Plan, however, sound absolutely beautiful, and anyone who doubts them be damned. I am fully and permanently recovered — because I say so.
Congratulations, Tippingpoint, and welcome to the other side.
