From Morning Glory...

I have seen Rational Recovery work for some and have seen some try it unsuccessfully.

I have seen Smart work for some.

I have seen AA work for some and have seen some try it unsuccessfully.

I have seen near beer work for some and have read that others tried it unsuccessfully.

I have seen a mixture of programs work for some and have seen some try it unsuccessfully.

I have seen therapy, behavior changes, and medication work for some and have also seen some try it unsuccessfully.

I have seen moderate drinking work for some and most try it unsuccessfully.

I have seen treatment and rehabs work for some and seen others drink the first day out.

I have seen alcoholics drink the same amount daily for 30 years without it progressing.

I have also seen the terrible progression of alcoholism.

I have seen spiritual awareness work for some.

I have seen jail work for some.

Some like face to face support groups. Some like on line communities.

Some just make a choice to quit and know nothing about any of this.

Some aren't ready to quit and don't make a commitment to try any of these things.


Congratulations to all those who have found a way to remain sober and I'm glad there are a lot of choices offered to members. The passion in these discussions just shows that you found something that works well for you.

I am thankful that my daughter made a choice to quit alcohol 12 years ago and now only drinks near beer occasionally.

I am thankful that my brother doesn't get drunk now and has been able to drink in moderation for years.

I'm thankful that my son received information through rehab, AA, and court ordered substance abuse classes and he finally made a choice to quit drinking.

I don't care how they did it. I'm just glad they did it and I'm glad to have them back.
