Why didn't you tell me?! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

PaperDolls · 05-19-2009, 09:54 PM

Ok people. I'm starting to talk the talk!
I'm using AA sayings in my life, at work.

Why didn't you people tell me if I took this seriously and actually WORKED at this I'd start to feel so much better.

"It works if you work it." That stuff's really true.

I'm so glad you're feeling good PD
