Thanks for all the kind responses! I'm only on day 25, but I'm really starting to feel like if I am able to maintain this attitude and outlook on life....I'll never NEED to pickup a drink or drug again.
And the way I feel right now, why would I *want* to? I don't think I could be happier than I am right now. Even if I had $10Billion.
And I cannot take any credit for this what so ever. I owe it all to you people and the good people of Alcoholics Anonymous.
And when I run into a jerk at an AA meeting (which happened about two weeks ago) I don't need to throw up my hands and say "AA doesn't work".
There's jerks in every walk of life. It's up to me how I deal with them.
So once again, thank you for all the support! You people are truly life-savers!
