And same here, sober since April 30, 2009. Just went to an unusual meeting tonight. My regular meeting wasn't being held, the chairman couldn't make it, so I went with a friend to the closest meeting to me. What made it unusual was that it wasn't held in a church basement or Sunday School room, but in an actual church itself since that was apparently the area that was heated. And the topic was appropriate, it was humor in sobriety.
