Not I.

Something to consider, I didn't give up anything. AA enabled me to live life without giving up a d@mned thing. As a matter of fact, I have gained soooooo much!

I resigned from the debating committee, stopped reading the steps, took the steps - and [poof] my behavior modified in spite of myself!

I was never physically dependent on alcohol.

hmmmmm. . does that mean I am not alcoholic???


Hey total alcohol consumption in over 8 years = null, zip, nada!!!

Haven't had to fight to stay sober, nor exert will power to choose not to drink.

I go to bars, nightclubs, parties!

I go anywhere and everywhere. No need to fight, struggle, or even give it a second thought.

I HAVE RECOVERED! Just as was promised!!!!

THANK GOD FOR AA!
