NYC-28 years and four days

coffeemachine.gif Went to "Living Now" on St. Mark's Place (old stomping grounds-East Village). This meeting has been running continuously for 40-some  odd years, I think. My sister presented me with my 28th medallion (they don't  normally do chips, so the crowd enjoyed the surprize as much as I did) She got sober there 30 years ago, and so she was surrounded by old friends who hadn't seen her in years. It was awesome--old timer alkies & junkies with 30+ all around me, and dozens of (fairly healthy looking!) young women + guys with 6 days, 19 days, 62 days, etc. etc.  A fantastic mix and testiment to the power of the program. Definately refilled my tank on a spiritual level!
