Hello everybody: I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Usually, I go to my sister's house in NJ, but she was away. So instead, I went to a Narcotics Anonymous Thanksgiving Marathon Meeting. I saw several of my close friends and even some "not so close." I attended three meetings and raised my hand in every one. I met a couple of newcomers, many of whom "got clean on the screen." 
In between I ate all the usual Thanksgiving fare: turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, veggies, dessert, coffee, etc. It was so nice just to sit with some of my close friends in recovery. I had a few laughs, talked about serious stuff too.
Today I'm cleaning up my apartment with a smile on my face. 
I don't miss getting loaded during the holidays, or any other day for that matter. We DO recover! Thanks.
