It is wonderful news! And it is difficult to stand on the sideline. She and I are very close and she shares her life very openly with me. When it pertains to alcoholism I always recommend that she talk to her sponsor, but if she asks for it I sometimes give my perspective. It's a fine line to draw. I am a sponsor, and I have my own ideas about what she might be doing. I was SOOO tempted to advise her when she told me that after 60 days of sobriety she was still struggling with Step 1.
