Jeff, thank you for your honesty. I really respect that. I don't know exactly why AA keeps me sober but it does. I do know that for it to work for me I have to apply the steps to every problem or difficulty in my life. How I do that is interchange what ever problem I am faced with and the word alcohol in the step. I have found that by doing this I am not only able to stay sober but I am able to keep serenity when I apply this. As anyone I am not perfect and do wind up with bad days because I forget or am to lazy, or can't seem to get motivated to apply the steps to a problem or situation. Again thanks for your honesty and for the article
