Hi.
After many years sober as a result of attending and practicing the PROGRAM I remember my undisciplined ways when I was attempting and rationalizing all the things I didn’t like about AA.
I wasn’t and am not today a religious person but my ego is OK with Higher Power which can be the people at a meeting or Mother Nature which I can’t duplicate.

I needed to become sick and tired of being sick and tired along with the misery that comes with being an active alcoholic. This fluid alcohol is very Powerful, cunning, baffling and insidious and after a certain point only takes from us, our money, our freedom, family, jobs, respect and on and on.

Continued intake often results in a miserable end of life. The only logical end for me was stop using it and enjoy life as it is not as I want it.
Today I wouldn’t change my worst day sober with my best day drinking with all the good things in my life.
It comes with work on a steady basis that has boosted my self respect.

BE WELL
