Last Tuesday morning I went to a morning meeting in a neighboring town.
There was a good turnout and I found myself at a 3rd Step table with 8 other members, most of whom were oldtimers (my 23 yrs sober dragged down the average sober time drastically).
The total sober time at that table was approaching 1/4 Millennium .... 250 years.
That was my alternative medicine for the morning.
All the best.
