34 years clean

Gentleman at the meeting tonight was celebrating 34 years clean. How awesome is that?

He also had a great quote, he said, "If this is your first meeting we know you don't want to be here. In 34 years I've only seen one person at their first meeting who wanted to be there, and that was an escaped mental patient who snuck in. You're here because you're having serious trouble in your life. Just keep coming back. Eventually you'll want to be here with us."

Just a little inspiration like that everyday keeps me going for now.

How brilliant.

When people with that much experience say it, it is hard to doubt their word!
