Early recovery can be a period of great turmoil,--------------and learning. Mostly about ourselves, our motivations, and what they result in. �Reasons� are rarely what we think they are. They are little more than “excuses�, and not the “causatives� that we regularly confuse them with. “Reasons� make us sound reasonable. That’s about it. Fact is we always want what we want, then go about searching for “reasons� to support a stance we’ve already chosen.
Since we are the only ones that can make the declaration that alcohol is a “problem�, rarely will anyone else’s rationale make any sense to us what-so-ever. For those of “us� who really have a problem, or even designate ourselves as alcoholic “quitting� has been a real adventure with a degree of difficulty that often boggles our mind. Rarely has “quitting on our own� been successful, but then as the Big Book suggests, “Our hats are off to those who believe they can� (I’m paraphrasing here, bear with me) In the end, we will always learn our “lesson� from beverage alcohol itself. And that, in a time and place of our own making. Welcome to the site. You’ll find a great deal of “interesting� and helpful material, See ya ‘round the campus.
