Enjoying the recovery posts. Sober 8 years. Just spend the Thanksgiving week-end with a boyhood friend who is newly sober. He was suicidal less than six months ago. He is now 4 months sober and he returned from the mid-west to home (East Coast) to make ammnends. Truly a miracle.

"Sober 8 years. Just spend the Thanksgiving week-end with a boyhood friend who is newly sober."

Great example of how our program works! Right back to the good old, tried but extraordinarily true fact of "one drunk helping another." Therein lies the magic for millions of us.

And for those of you who have found sobriety in other ways, I salute you and wish you all well. This shouldn't be a competition. There isn't a BEST way to be sober. The act of being and staying sober is what matters.
