“To all the staff at Seasons…thanks for the email, I really do appreciate the continued contact. I am doing very well! Almost one year in sobriety .I won’t go on too much but life for me these days is just fantastic…Even when its bad it’s somehow awesome. I go to AA meetings regularly, have a sponsor and love anything to do with associated spiritual progress..I noticed the first 6 months were very hard, there were many times I nearly relapsed…..lots of stressful situations and overwhelming emotional stuff, but by going to meetings and eventually picking up the phone and talking to someone in AA, I have managed to get through and stay sober..Going to that AA convention in Bali was a damn good idea as it really opened my mind to what AA is really like….I am lucky here in Perth as there are many different kinds of meetings to attend..I am about to head out tonight to a steps meeting….I am actually only on step 5 with my sponsor. I love how it’s very hard to describe, but you know how it feels! Feels like Freedom!! I am hoping to go to Bali next month and celebrate my first year clean so maybe I will see you guys. Thanks, thanks and thanks again for saving my life and giving me a new beginning. Eternally grateful. yours sincerely..Adrian
