Well, I have ten years today, which is great, although I don't *feel* so great for various reasons. Anyway, I ran into a guy recently who had 51 yrs, and his sponsor had been sponsored by Dr. Bob. He said that his sponsor had gotten sober in Dr. Bob's house and had slept in his daughter's upstairs bedroom, like many drunks did, and he puked all over her bed. It was amazing, as I have sat on that bed, and never thought about it covered in something that was a staple in my alcoholic life.

I asked him how he defined faith. He said something like "accepting what is in the moment". I think I heard that he started or was a part of young people's in LA, he was 16 when he got sober, I think.
