Curious
Doubtless you are curious to discover how and why, in the face of expert opinion to the
contrary, we have recovered from a hopeless condition of mind and body. If you are an
alcoholic who wants to get over it, you may already be asking—“What do I have to do?"
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p 20

Thought to Ponder . . .
What have I been given today? Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

Good morning everyone, my name is Michael and I am an alcoholic. I was so scared when I came in and I couldn't read. But a group of men, old timers, took me through the first three steps until I cleared my mind. I guess the point I am making is its not rocket science. After the desperation is gone I tend to "think" and Lord that gets me in trouble. I think I did it all. I had much pride in my 16 years time before I relapsed. Pride goeth before the fall. I picked up and was left with nothing, not even my precious time. But my Higher Power was so excited I came back. This time around I let the steps sink into my heart, and carefully took each one as thoroughly as I could. My life is so much different now. I lost the compulsion to drink. Doors, so many doors opened, my head spins. If I take it a day at time, serve others, I stand a chance today. Thank you.
