It's good that this is available in Duma. I would not be alive today if not for the 12 steps. Namaste.
Not an alcoholic I just want to inform you : I am not an alcoholic, I am a DRUNK. Alcoholics goes to meetings--
I used to say something similar at the bar. :" Barkeep, I am defintitely an alchoholic; ;therefore, sir, i will need to order them three deep and keep on coming." Fortunately, i live to tell the tale because of AA
You're right, alcoholics are high class drunks, I too am an AA member. 30 years this coming July, Thank, God. Dean
good stuff I myself will have an anniversary on the 9th or so of March,,24yrs, and thank God! Indeed!. I still don't know why I was picked and so many are going to die today. Makes me grateful.
I congratulate all of you who have beaten this addiction and applaud those who are actively in the process.
I am certain God is appreciative of your applause cause i had very little to do with it. I know that's hard to understand. But when your standing on this side of door, u see things more clearly than on the other. Can't explain it, but that's how most of us old timers see it. What makes me different from the guy who's going to kick the bucket today? I don't know. I really can't take credit for what I haven't done. It is grace and grace alone that brought me in the front door of AA and that's what kept me there. And, with continued grace, is what will keep me there until I die. We are never completely cured of this awful disease. We have a daily reprieve entirely dependent upon our spiritual condition. For I alone am powerless to stop the insane thought of a drink. Sorry for the pulpit there. But am practicing for my anniversary talk! LOL
I concur with Permres and congratulate those of you with the discipline, mindset, and strength to stick with it and overcome. Both my ex wives told me I drank too much that may have been a catch 22.
