Mark! Hi! So pleased to see you back. And absolutely delighted that your AA thing is working out for you so well. That sounds really fantastic! In fact, it sounds so good, that I'm even tempted to wander along to an AA meeting myself... It sounds great the bit about friendly strangers... but I tend to think that Americans are friendlier on the whole than the Brits anyway. We English types tend to keep ourselves to ourselves! I can't imagine me asking anyone to be my AA buddy! I'd chicken out.
Ah well, I'm afraid I haven't done as well as you. I had a severe asthma attack last Thursday night, first really bad one since I nearly died in the States the Christmas before last, and my other half had to call the ambulance for me, which I hated. So I'm afraid the lure of the vodka bottle was a bit too strong to ignore afterwards. But after reading your post, I feel I have been really weak, and will try again... when I get back from holiday (I leave next Wednesday).
Keep it up, Mark, you're doing grand. I wish you lived near me, then we could go together!! (I live in the UK.)
Lisa
