at AA by the Bay my Sunday version home group which is a very very nice place to celebrate mine.  Yesterday was my 35th anniversary and it was nice and today it was nicer because my sponsor was in the house and another very special alcoholic both of whom have anniversaries coming up.  Robert has his tomorrow and I have loved participating in his recovery and anniversaries since he found our fellowship...One relapse with a huge solid bounce back.  He is a huge share for ESH and  very confident in his recovery.  He can pass it on well.   My sponsor is from the same culture as I, more native blood and spiritually adept from both the program and culture.  His sharing from his spiritual base and his conviction about "how this works" is a must listen for me.  I'm blessed.  I am grateful or beyond grateful to be here and have this "borrowed time"...HP allows me this pleasure as long as I will work for it.  Thank you also MIP fellows for all of your support.   ((((hugs))))
