when the pain of getting drunk exceeded the pain of reality, when i could no longer stand the person i had become, when i was at the point of desperation, i walked into AA. i kept goin, got a big book, did what the big bok and the people at the meetings suggested i do, and slowly but surely, all of the promises in the big book came true.
And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone - even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality - safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is our experience.
thats justa few of em.
