And, I can totally relate to the fact that I have a terrific life now. My boyfriend tells me often how proud he is of me and my hard work (I am an AAer, too)- and he is only a few months behind me in his sobriety (we started dating after both of us had stopped).
Keep going!! I know there continue to be good things ahead for all of us.
I was in and out of AA for years......yet for some reason, i started really hearing what they were saying this last trip to the hospital. I guess like you i was just finally done and it was time to walk away from the bottle for good.
