I know that in AA we celebrate milestones in a lunar cycle, but when I realized that I had 106 days in yesterday, it felt different. It caused reflection. What have I learned?

1) God had been there with me on the boat all along. All I had to do was turn over the tiller and God would steer me on the right course.
2) Alcohol is NOT a performane-enhancing drug. I didn't use it; it used me.
3) As God & I clean out the sand-box of my soul we're going to turn up plenty of painful and stinky cat-turds, which God will give me the power to scoop-out either with forgiveness, acceptance or willingness to make amends. God & I will also find some cool, fun toys that I haven't played with in years.
4) AA is where I belong. I am alcoholic and always will be. AA is unlike any other fellowship in that we are all equally powerless in the merciless talons of booze and equally powerful in the cradling hands of God.
5) Nobody else is like us and they will never fully understand us. We must hang together or we will surely hang seperately.
6) I know Love like I never have before.
7) Humility, generousity, forgiveness, moderation and industry are the answers to my major character flaws of hubris, greed, wrath, gluttony and sloth.
8) One Day At A Time isn't a platitude; it's a healthy way of life.
9) Anonymity doesn't just mean keeping each other's secrets and using only first names. Anonymity means placing the interests and welfare of our tribe before our own.
10) First Things First; sobriety is job one, at all costs, because without sobriety everything else WILL turn to sh**, just like it did before.
11) It feels good to be honest, gentle, accountable and in the anonymous service of others.
12) Twelve is a magic number.

Thanks for letting me share, and with that I'll pass.
