It was a bit offensive to me especially when he wore a certain red cap. Suddenly at the end, he confessed he had been drinking all the time he was attending the meetings. He burst into tears and sobbed that he had lied and failed all of us. He did not believe he deserved to be at the meeting. At that moment, all feelings of irritation melted away and I, as with everyone else in the room, immediately consoled him and strongly urged him to stay. Which he did. How compassion and loving kindness overcomes all differences when we meet a fellow suffering being !

Congrats to the twin milestoners ! Keep going, yaya !

Another 24 hours of loving kindness, serenity and sobriety pls ! Its 8:24am here !
How great that he came clean and was so warmly welcomed!

Loving kindness, serenity and sobriety - sounds like perfection, Kaneda!
