I just wanted to share with you that I celebrated my years in the program this week - definitely one of those bigger anniversaries. My sponsor spoke a little about my recovery and gave me my medallion at our meeting. We usually go for fellowship after just sponsor/sponsee so I can check in with her even though I've been around awhile. She gave me a very nice card and wrote a personal sentiment. I thanked her for remembering me and for going out of her way to find a card and get my medallion so I would have it for my anniversary. She said she hadn't shopped for it at all that it was hers and she wanted me to have it. She must be nearing twice the time I have and I was so touched that she was passing on chip to me and that my higher power placed her on my path and continues to do so. Thanks for letting me share with you. TT

I'm glad I made the choice to find a sponsor when I was ready and to work the steps. My life feels much less chaotic today because of it. TT
