Someone told me early on to go to different types of AA meetings. I do this now- at 853 days sober, so going on 28 mo- and plan to continue as long as I live, noticing two consistent things: there are names with people on major buildings in this city....and there are tatted up "crazy" looking people...people who "look homeless"....people who "look like white collar" employees..
And addiction doesn't discriminate - by any criteria.
I have enough to do "going 40 mph in my own lane," as my sponsor says.
I best remember comparison is always a losing proposition.
