*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*

"We feel that elimination of our drinking is but a beginning. A much
more important demonstration of our principles lies before us in our
respective homes, occupations and affairs."

Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, There Is A Solution, pg. 19

I have always felt that the BB is dead on when it basically says that if all one does is stop drinking they will drink again if they do no more then stop. Change for me has been key to having that urge/need to drink being lifted from me, in working the steps and trying to live them I have changed a lot from the self centered angry drunk I used to be. I have so far to go, but I have come a long ways in a short time and feel great and look forward to the rest of the journey until I go to that big meeting in the sky.
