Today I heard it all. I don't think anything else can shock me. I was waiting for my Darts bus and I overheard a guy chatting up a young girl at the front of the clinic. He said to her, "I've been sober for 11 years haven't touched a drop but I sure love my crack!
He reminded me of another fellow I met who said he didn't drink but he sure enjoyed sitting in his easy chair with a big fat joint every night.
My sponsor told me that sobriety means "soundness of mind."
People in NA tend to think of it as belonging to the 'other' fellowship, yet who ever heard of having soundess of mind after smoking a joint or a pipe. The paranoia itself tends to make me question the fact that the mind is anywhere near sound.

It is not living if I am sleeping that many hours, especially when my waking hours are during the night.
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
