While I think it's true that AA doesn't work for everyone, I think we both believe that sobriety was made much easier for us since we didn't have to do it alone.
As for the alcohol aisle in grocery stores & such, it amazes me that I no longer even consider picking up a bottle, or a twelve pack. There will be tough days (like the bad session with your pdoc), but I think we both know that there's no bad situation that can be made better by taking a drink.
21 years is an amazing accomplishment. Sorry, but I love calculating the number of "one day at a times" folks accomplish; for me that's more important than any other measure, because we all wake up with only one day to worry about...Today. You've done that successfully 7665 days in a row!!! Wow!!!
