You know, I tried so many things when I first came to AA. When I think about it, it blows my mind. I've read most of the Hazelden books, and many of the AA books. One of my sponsors and I went to retreats held at a Catholic retreat house, so on one trip, I bought a rosary and said Hail Marys every day. The point isn't about what I read or did. The point is about taking the time to read, do and study about alcoholism and work on developing some kind of a program so that I won't ever have to drink again.....one day at a time of course. Much to my surprise, some 26 years later, I became a Catholic and have gravitated to the Big Book and the 12 & 12 as my main information sources for alcohol, and going to weekly and sometimes daily mass and saying the Holy Rosary on occasion; now knowing what I'm doing. Funny how the pendulum swings when I'm having fun staying sober.
