a power greater than us restored us to sanity

A sponsee in Florida told me this morning that Sandy B. passed away sober in an AA meeting in Tampa last night.

He would have 50 years in recovery on Dec. 7, 2014. He was a fellow marine.

He was an in demand speaker and coined the drop the rock blurb in his talk in California in 1976.

He tried to 12th step me when I was drunk at a party in the mid 70s, and hugged me later in 86 when I stopped drinking alcohol.

My eyes are wet right now as I see him surrounded by all of our friends in Paradise.
