12 Steps Later

Recently a gentleman named Randy pointed at me in a meeting and said, “It’s so good to see you here today sharing. When you first came in your feelings had words that didn’t exist and sometimes you would even rhyme. It was not the first time someone had said something to that effect. “You would leave the room,” Randy continued, “and people would let out a sigh of relief!” Whenever people tell me how far I’ve come I am grateful to be reminded. I was particularly insane, so I get reminded a lot. The fact that the Twelve Steps could change a person like me is miraculous, but it is not uncommon.
