I had been clean for just over 30 days 13 years ago and was working when I got the news. Saddened and very upset, I called a Wharf Rat that I had met during that frist tough month of recovery. He invited me to his house after work where we listened to music, ate dinner and then went to a meeting. It was my first really upsetting time since getting clean and it was then that I learned about just feeling the feelings instead of covering them up.
I miss Jerry terribly but this really showed me that I don't have to use no matter what.
I will be listening to a lot of Jerry today....and rembering what happiness he brought to so many peoples lives.

P.S. I am still clean to this day.
