Top Ten Signs You May Be in Recovery

10) You drink more coffee per day than Starbucks in one week.

9) Emails to your friends have "HALT" as the subject header.

8) You and your buddies get thrown out of expesso bars and teahouses for being "too rowdy."

7) For parties with your friends, you but a couple cases of Mountain Dew and Pepsi-Cola.

6) Dining out, you wonder how someone at the next table can drink half a glass of wine and leave the rest.

5) There is at least one magnet on your refrigerator, plaque on your wall, or bumper-sticker on you car with an inspirational message printed on it.

4) You don't know the last names of most of your best friends.

3) If you need advice on money, you ask the guy in your meeting who used to be bankrupt.

2) When you empty your purse or pockets you find at least one of the following: an anniversary chip, scrapes of paper with phone numbers on people you met in meetings, pocket-sized Big Book, wallet-sized Preamble.

And the number one sign you may be in recovery:

1) No matter how bad a day you had, if you go to bed sober, you consider yourself a winner.

LOL, I have most of those checked off. One time in a diner a waitress told us that our group was a lot more fun than the people who drank at the diner, though, even though we were rowdy. And we tipped better.
