Found the old login info. I had started a new username (Traylorparkboy), but I might as well stick with the old one. I haven't been here in a few years. Hopefully I'm older and wiser. Hope everyone is safe and well. Be talking to you.

Or anything about sponsors at all for that matter? In fact there seems to be many things that have been added to the program that the original founders didn't feel necessary for them to recovery from alcoholism.
