Morning Tatsy - proud of you.
And to some, I might sound like Pollyanna Does Recovery - but it's not because I have resolve to "be" like that. It's because of the happiness and freedom I have found in my perfectly imperfect life. What AA talks about as the Promises coming true. I don't believe I'm doing "battle" hence terms like The Beast and always having an AV just don't fit my model.
Part of why I describe my life as living in the Pinks is because I have a clear, beautiful and real way to enjoy life as well as face its challenges with hope.
