Wish I could be there to celebrate your birthday this year FRiend. Congratulations on one day at a time for 34 years! (of course you and God willing :-) (since you have a couple of months.)

A.A. raised me. I came in at 18, then for good at 21 and being the youngest of a very large family and parents that were neglectful as they both had their demons, I always took care of myself. I grew up in A.A.. I owe A.A. and God my life because they gave it back to me and showed me the way. Many blessings to you.

Thanks and congratulations for turning it over. I was 45 when I went to my first AA meeting and have been clean and sober since. I also stopped smoking on the same date; which wasn’t recommended by my sponsor.

Keep working the Steps and many blessings to you.
