A.A. aphorsims

a top' o the good mor'n SR'r's... was thinking about all the names of the A.A. rooms around my area .............when at first we reach out and ask for help. we have to get down to the "Nitty Gritty"...we come into the rooms and have a chance to become "Alive Again" { the imfamous Panal of Experts, my HG }... we soon learn that there is a "Common Solution"... we try, and we try, and then all the pain. we now know, that pain is the "Touchstone" to spiritual progress...as time goes on , and we reach that 90 day mark, start to work the steps. we now see that there are some "New Horizens"... then we learn that we have to "Pass it On", in order to keep it,... and when all else fails... we go to "Recovery Unlimited"......... agw, & tol, ... Pattee ...p.s. ppfftt, if any one wants to know what a aphorism is ? GO LOOK IT UP like i did...
