Wow! What an amazing gift to have your old sponser just pop up out of the blue! Thank God for keychain obsessions eh? What an amazing post too.....you truly have been given a blessing, in that you didn't succomb to the drug. All the program pounded in your head really messed up your using, as I've heard in meetings! Thank you for sharing this whole experience! You've kept it green for me. I get those thoughts a lot....."You're not an alcoholic! Everyone else's story is way worse then yours! You could have a few! Just get those 32 ouncers by the cash register!" Those thoughts scare me, because I know it's those thoughts that change sobriety dates. I just tell them "Thanks for sharing!" and so far they haven't gotten the best of me. But it's stories like yours that keep it green for me, that keep me in the center of the roof. Thank you so much for your experience strenth and hope. I'm so proud of you!!!! I hope you get some sleep!
