I always try to look at it this way. I can control my behaviour. I have power over that. It is the things around me that I can't control that I give up to something else. I don't even know if it is god or not. I just picked the word "something else".
I have also been sober 16 months and you know Jade, we did it! I never thought I would make it this far when I first started out. You have done good!
