Life is so much better sober. I've had a couple of guys that I've sponsored relapse, and I have another sponsor now who's new in recovery. I'm just doing what I've been told because my own best thinking got me to jail, having to go to Odyssey House, which was a great blessing. I'm starting to do the things that were suggested 30 years ago to me. It's only taken me that long. You learn.
