You know,
When I was in early recovery
all the jargon
all the reference to the book
all the referring to 'the steps'

... reminded me of the old 'Amway' jargon.

You kmow the "you can mke a million dollars..."
but they don't really tell you anything until you pay the fees.

And it made me skeptical as well.

But now -
having come through to the Other Side....

it all makes sense.

BUT - this is important -

I had to GET THROUGH for it to be what it is to me now.

Put the effort
the time the energy
the devotion
into your recovery
that you put into your drinking
and I promise

you'll never have to drink again.
