I recently picked up a book by Joe McQ without any idea what I was getting into. What a wonderful discovery! This book has become a "highlighter" book for me.


Last week an alcoholic told me "I need both God and AA to stay sober". It really hit home with me and I just mentioned it this morning in a meeting because it's so true for me. I have tried one without the other over the past several years and never managed more then a few months without a drink/drunk. Somehow I new this time when I sobered up I needed both and I actually wasn't sure that would be enough. I don't have much sobriety but it is the most I have ever had. Today I don't need both, I want both.

Thank you for sharing the link Ron. After reading Joe's book I'm looking forward to listening to their "tapes" and moving beyond not drinking into a new way of life.

Two Powers. That's what it's about for an alcoholic of my nature.

Larry.
