Congratulations on your 3 years of sobriety and this outstanding insight. I’m approaching my 26 year anniversary (04/02/99) one day at a time. I love your reference to right sized.

Thank you, Doug. Being right sized was an important lesson when I first worked Steps Six and Seven a few years ago. I’m grateful for that teaching.

Congrats on twenty-six years!

Michael,

Congrats on your milestone. It sounds like we're following a similar path of sobriety and dhamma practice. I've read Walpola's book twice in the last year and feel it must be one of the best books out there. Of you know of others, please feel free to recommend.

Thank you, Eric.

There are lots to recommend. Currently, however, I am exploring The Roots Of Goodness with a few different people. I recommend that if you’re not familiar with the Buddha’s last teaching that Dogen’s commentary on it—and Kosho Uchiyama, too!
