Web Exclusive: Wrong Number?

My one year sobriety anniversary was April 5, 2007. I started "thinking" I didn't need so many meetings, that I was doing alright mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and could keep at it on my own. Slowly, I dwindled down to making one meeting a week. I had a sponsor, but called her rarely and saw her even less. I'd only worked step one, and didn't quite fully believe it yet. My prayers and meditations became a quick "please" and "thank you" every few days. I opened no books. I wasn't sure if I really believe in a "Higher Power."
