Rayna,
I have been sober for 14 months. I don't do AA or the 12 steps, but I am very happy they are working for you. It sounds like you are really getting a lot of work done--I truly respect that. I fully understand your reason for the disclaimer--I wish we could all just get along. If there is ever a way I could support you, I would...

I can relate to some of your feelings. Athough my life is not perfect, I am so incredibly grateful I have my sobriety, my friends and my family. It took a lot of work for me to get to the point where I could feel and appreciate all the love I have in my life--its a wonderful feeling.
