Absolutely, Tomsteve! Not only am I about to work after one year + of unemployment, but I found out I am able to get my personal things out of storage that I thought were "gone" years ago!
The promises are real. I've witnessed so many miracles in 25 years of being in/out/around AA. Today I am a humble member of AA!
KDL is a teacher, also. I was kind of hoping that more educators will come out of the woodwork here.
Deep down, no matter what our problems are, we can work through them. If we get to enough AA meetings, we WILL meet new people we can relate to. Although I love the meetings where the judge, the trash collector, the retail clerk and the homeless person bond beyond all reason. That is the program working for us....
Have a wackulously sober day!
