"...tomorrow is my 10 year birthday and I'm still a newcomer..."
There's a saying in recovery circles: "The newcomer is the most important person in the room."
When it comes to f2f or IRL or 3D, I know that when most folks, with time, say they're still a newcomer, I know they mean they're still open, and willing to learn, and learning; but there's still a little part of me that still wonders if perhaps they want to be that 'most important person' again.............

P.S. Oh yeah; congrats on 10 years; ugogrl!
