This thread has been an awesome read today. Congrats to all laying their heads to rest sober tonight. What a gift.
Three big things for me:
1.) Went back to my home group from about two years ago and was completely, warmly welcomed back. The meeting was great and I felt silly for staying away so long.
2.) I met with my sponsor and told him the thing I swore I would never tell, the thing that led me to my last relapse. His response was incredible and I feel like I just want to shout with relief. Again, why did I wait?
3.) my best friend and primary drinking buddy of the last 15 years had a stroke tonight. 37 years old. I cut off ties in October due to some drinking drama. We touched base around the holidays again. Tentative texts. It just brings the severity of this disease in sharp relief. This is life and death stuff. He is ok, thankfully. I just hope this will be his turning point and I hope I never go back.
Love.
