Remember, johnf, not to get ahead of where you are ... here and now. By staying in the now, it's a lot easier to stay grounded in what's real--and not get "unhinged" (as you put it) by what hasn't--and may never--happen.

One day at a time ... sure works for me! I'm happy for you. Keep on keeping on, lots of little joys for you to discover as you stay sober.
