Yeah for sure, I am not a “member” of AA I am an NA member but I am still going. I often go to AA round ups, campouts and meetings . Recovery is recovery to me.

Have you ever been to a recovery convention?

I was banned also. There is a process I went through with Canadian immigration to be declared rehabilitated and to have my travel rights restored. It took a couple of years and a few thousand dollars, and I had to get letters of character reference and from the police in every place is lived as an adult (that was a long damn list!) among other requirements. I’ve lived 45 minutes from the border and like an hour and a half from Montreal for 30 years now. I went up several times with my new paperwork and had minimal trouble each time. Haven’t been up since before the pandemic though.

Thanks :blush: I think my probation officer told me about that, but at that point I’d already lost $15,000+ to my stupidity. My parents took me over when I turned 19 in 2005, and not actually to drink, but to gamble, which luckily was the only vice that never appealed to me. That was the last time I ever went, and Niagara Falls is only 20 miles from me! I’ve thought about attempting to walk over but I’d hate to be turned away, especially if my daughter were with me. Maybe one day :crossed_fingers:
