If one has a hard time comprehending
what one reads, then hearing How It Works,
then AA program of recovery introduced
to me, taught to me, and learned 26 yrs ago,
then sitting in Step Meetings, Big Book
Studies as well as discussion meetings,
listening, learning, absorbing, applying,
will help you achieve what so many have
already achieved over a many one days
sober or clean at a time......

a Healthy, Happy, Honesty way of life.

Your dad is one of those who has found an
affective program of recovery and knows
it works because he continues to incorporate
it in his own life as he paves the path for you
and others to follow just by passing on what
was taught to him and learned to countless
others including you who are still struggling
with addiction.

I'm pretty sure he's heard it all before, things
you may not want to open up to him about. There
wont be anything that will surprise him because
he knows the sickness of addiction and how it
affected not only himself but others too.

Don't blame the person but rather
blame the sickness, disease of addiction
is how your dad sees it and me too.

Your dad will guide you with suggestions
into recovery and a bond will hopefully
be formed that will be a gift the 2 of you
will share. How awesome that would be.
