My experiences over the past 24 years, ODAAT, have been that it was normal to
have a problem with "whatever I was having it with" at ANYTIME and what has
also become normal in my sober years is that I, with the help of the program
and others have managed to handle EVERY problem without picking up or using.

The only way I was able to prove that was to keep showing up for life sober
everyday and putting those 24 hour periods "back to back".  People got tired
of talking at me like that as "they" got better.  Was an old saying, "The
longer I'm around the BETTER some people seem to get."   ;-)

goes on.
