Thanks shadow! I often times tell people that my jokes and sarcasm keep me that one small step from complete insanity. So I make jokes a lot, some about my sobriety. I've gotten laughs out of it but I've also gotten those cold looks that tell me, "This is no joke." So I'm always confused on what I should and shouldn't say.

I am taking my recovery more seriously in the fact that I'm trying a lot hard to work the steps. Things are going really well right now, I think a lot of it is due to my better understanding of the steps and accepting them.
