something really cool happened today!

Hello ALL! As some may know I started working on the sober living program I created with individuals at my home as I seek a place to purchase! Today, I was going to the central office of a recovery program. This is the place we pick up literature for our groups and such! I took the young man staying at my house with me. He had 5 months sober yesterday! While there I shared that with the lady helping us and she was really excited for him! We paid and left and we got all the way down the hall to the exit when she came in the hall and asked if he got a 5 month coin for his 5 months. These aren't common here, especially at our home group. For those that aren't familiar that is the place you go to meetings most. This is the place you feel most at home. Hence the name! Anyway, he went back in and got his coin which he would never had gotten had he not come with me today! When we got to the car I shared with him that I was once going with people from our group to bring a meeting into a treatment program. This was a place we went to three days a week. I shared with him that on the day I had five months, I was sharing that fact with the clients of the treatment center and when I was done, a man at the meeting with 25 years leaned over and told me to walk with him to his car when we were done! After the meeting I went with him and he leaned in and picked something up. He turned and he happened to have a 5 month chip with him in his car and he gave it to me! He we were, two guys getting five months, 12 years apart, and we had the same experience! I told him that was God showing out for us both today! He reminded me of the grace I received on five months and he received that same grace today. He would not have had that happen unless he was staying in my house and went with me today. This reaffirmed both of our sobriety journey's and reassured me that I was on the correct path with sober living. God is so smart, don't ya think? Rhetorical! God Bless!
