Well,I made it this far.Since Sep.24, I have been to 32 meetings,gotten a sponsor,been to marriage counselling 3 times,(he was on vacation),taken my wife to 3 meetings and my son to 1.I have also had 2 good visits with my mom(and told her that she can love me,but not fix me).I have also taken care of my store,bought a new Pomeranian puppy ( pictures soon),made good progress on our home expansion (roof before rain,hopefully),been to the ocean,played golf,been to the movies and did not drink.I am glad about all these things especially for the support I have found and am willing to accept from all of you here and in the AA groups.Thank you,to Mish for your lightness,to Dennis for playing with chalk,to Rissy for making me realize that all problems are related,to Keith for time-tested wisdom,and to all of you others for caring and sharing.I am stronger for knowing you all.

Peace,Donovan
