God took away my drinking obcession.
I had returned to my God by using AA.

I was 3 years sober...had just finished my formal Step work.

I found myself in a situation where I could drink as much as I
wanted...for free and no one would know.

I fell on my knees and asked Him to remove the desire.
Zap! Zip! A mental shift.
when I got up...no more obcession. It's never returned..
in the past 16+ years.

You can find a psychic change described in the Doctors Opinion
in the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
You can see it in action in the rooms of AA.

For me....living the Steps are a way to be the best woman
I can be. They give me purpose and joy...

Hope you find the same Iris...thanks for asking.
