Hi my name is Dan and I am sick. I need some help. My life is unmanageable.
Can you help me reclaim my life...
What it comes down to for this addict is one simple thing.
AA and NA haved showed me a way to prevent me from wasting away in misery. I love and respect the people in both fellowships who do service and remind me occasionnaly of the foundations and precepts these two fellowships are built upon. But in the end, crossing the t's and dotting the i's is futile
if, it's going to come in the way of a sick person getting some help. So yeah, I can recognize bull$hit when I see it. Clarity of thinking is after all one of the gifts of recovery.
Peace to all of us.
