My sponsor just celebrated 30 years clean at the meeting last night.
The only thing he kept talking about was how much he liked that
meeting because they always treated him like a regular old sick addict
and never expected him to share a bunch of inspirational stuff. He
always says his goal is to stay a regular old NA member.

That's what I like about my home group too. I'm just Paul and I have
good days and grotty days like everyone else. I've been clean
approaching 19 years and if someone wants to look at me with stars in
their eyes, then that's *their* problem :-) . Last year was a real
eye-opener for a few of them. You should have heard me rant when I
was on that interferon muck LOL. I spent half the meeting time
outside with a bottle of water chatting with the cigarette smokers.
In some respects, it was a bit like early recovery revisited. 'Twas a
good reminder.
