An awe inspiring...

An awe inspiring account of oine man's journey into sobriety, wonderful! I remember mine, obviously we all travel different paths looking for the same outcome, lasting sobriety.

For myself I always remember that the name of our disease/illness is alcohol-ISM, the alcohol is just a symptom, it's the -ISM's, otherwise known as 'life' that have to be dealt with on a daily basis if my serenity is to be maintained on a daily basis.

I keep my copy of ,'the Big Book', close by, and pay special attention to the words on page 275, 4th Ed., in the story called,'The Keys to the Kingdom' that starts with,' A.A. is not aplan for recovery thatcan be finished and done with.'

I need to both remember that andthe fact that , even though I'm no longer drinking, I'm an alcoholic!

Thank you for your post and may the god of your understanding go with you and yours.
