When one alcoholic/addict shares with another alcoholic/addict

[MajestyJo]

Well this is another update, I celebrated 26 years on the 21st and picked up my black key tag at NA last night. I will be celebrating at my home group on Friday.

This is a one day at a time program, and just for today, I choose not to use. I will celebrate at my AA home group Four Directions on the 31st of August. It is about being clean and sober.

I was talking to a friend who I have known since I came into the rooms of recovery. We go way back, so it is always good to connect with another alcoholic, someone who was there when I came in. He came to my group, and has been before, and it is good that he chose our group, when he felt like he needed a meeting. I am in agreement with him, the newcomer is important for sure, but old timers can hurt too.
