Neither cured nor graduated

After all this time, I'm still not cured nor have I graduated. Sheesh! Sometimes my ego tells me I should be both. Wrong! And it's usually then that my self-centered mind gets painful reminders of the progressiveness and in-curability of my affliction. So, I thank my HP/God for the 12 Steps. They are the only tools I've ever found that work and have helped me live with my illness since 1985.

And you're sober today because you accepted the fact that you are neither cured nor graduated. Congrats on 28 years maybe someday you will graduate but that day is not today

Life doesnt care about our plans, I have had to learn to try my best, but live life on life's terms. You will get to where you want to be, and it sounds like you already have a lot to be proud about.
