One thing I know is that the greatest people I have met are those that have endured, more so than those that have accomplished. There are as many roads of recovery as there are roads into oblivion. We each have our own history. We each have own miracles and, hopefully, our own happy destinies. Life s circumstances are nothing more than the playing fields on which each of us individually competes, not against each other, but against the disease.
Alcoholism is an equal opportunity destroyer.
Recovery is equally opportune. I ve often wondered what that old-timer may have been thinking as he stared out his window. But why rain on the young man s parade. I m quite sure that he saw no injustice in his sponsee s good fortune as compared to his own. His fortune was simply of a more mature goodness.
