Last Thursday a close acquaintance came to me and told me she quit drinking the day before. She had gone to a meeting the night before also. She was beaming with pride. She told me her plans to go to Universal, with another person who also had just quit, for the weekend.

Of course I encouraged her.
I'm surprised also, that she chose me to share this with, as she owed me nothing in the way of apologies or excuses for behavior: she'd always been fine with me.

Is this part of the AA program, or did she do this just out of friendship?
