5 Years Sober

Hey Guys,
Been a while since I posted here. I still lurk. I've been a daily visitor to the Blog section.
This forum and the 12 Steps has been instrumental in keeping me on the beam for the last five years.
Today I posted a blog with some thoughts on the last five years, naturally within the context of Jedi philosophy.

Thankyou John. What a cool name! I posted some reactionary comments (all good) on your Jedi/Marcus post. Congrats on 5.

Does counting down the years really matter when the promises of sobriety through the 12 steps become more and more apparent over the years?

Greetings to all.
