the NA Basic Text p3 "Only in desperation did we ask ourselves: Could it be the drugs?"
I asked myself that question. I answered it "yes" . I have been doing AA and NA for 16 yrs now... became the father that my son deserved. Became the son my parents deserved.
While i was on the phone to a sponsee a few minutes ago, a guy from the programs was here with his 9 yr old son. they were shooting skeet first, then went fishing down the road , then visited a "gator farm" and now are hiking on my place looking for shed deer/elk antlers. all while clearing taking joy in just being around each other.
Thats what REAL parenting looks like...
