I have made it through another year clean in recovery , thanks to all of you. Each year the last month I get complacent and know I need to do a lot of praying to the Higher Power and calling my sponsor and other men in the fellowship. I have just made 7 years clean and serene . When I came through the door into my first meeting I was ready to give up before I got there. I almost left ,a couple of men came out and told me hang around ,we all go out for coffee after the meeting. I did ,I came back and learned to listen and shut up . It was important to realize ,I was not right and my way by far was not the right way. I met up with a core group of addicts ,about 5 of them that are still some of my mentors today,in fact were all in the same sponsorship family. Thank God and the Higher Power for saving me .
