Merry Christmas Grateful,

Congratulations sweetie on your pink cloud. I remeber how wonderful it felt the 1rst year of my Sobriety. I worked the steps with a Sponsor, went to meetings, and was just plain on fire for A.A. All I can say to you is the same things that were told to me.

Get the Big Book the 12 x 12 and as much literature as you can on ALcoholism. Then start to read it.

Get a Sponsor that has time in the program.
90 x 90 meetings maybe more. Don't for the life of you stop your meetings. They are your life line.
Do your 12 steps and do them with every ounce of honesty in you.
Use your telephone to call your Sponsor and the old timers in the program that are Spiritually sound and that are working a good program.
Stay away from Slippery people, places and things.
Don't use anything with alcohol in it. That goes for mouthwash, binaca, or cough syrup, food etc.
Pray, pray and pray somemore. If you don't know how. God will teach you. It is just conversation between you and GOD.

Lots of Love in Recovery,
Blessed
