meeting maker

I continue to be grateful that my obsession to drink has been lifted. A man next to me in a meeting last night had 44 years sobriety. Inspiring. The Big Book tells me that a man will drink again if given the opportunity and will be defenseless against the first drink. My experience thus far has told me (actually old timers) that when we stop going to meetings we go out. I have no plans to be defenseless nor stop going to meetings for I am in this for the long hall. Maybe one day I will be like my fellow meeting maker and get 44 years.

"Whatever you do DON'T DRINK!!!!" -fellow meeting maker advice.
