Good stuff. Great, actually. Still a newcomer at five years? Well, since my sponsor has 30 and she still works the steps, I know what you mean.

Thanks for sharing! I would also add, "Keep coming back." Hell...at 16 months, I still have the shakes......

It works if you work it, a message that has
been important in my own recovery. Stick
with the winners and pass it on.

Congratuations. !!

(((24hrsADay))) - Congratulations on 5 years!! I'm coming up on that milestone, but like you - I think I still have a lot to learn. The good thing is, I'm way more receptive to learning and actually look forward to it - totally unlike the "old days"

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

5 years!!! 5 whole years!? Now that is incredible, well done. I'm on day 20 here;-)

Can you tell us honestly, what is the BEST thing about quitting, and what is the WORST!?
