Enough was enough when I stood on the edge of a cliff, one more step and I would have hit the point of no return, the only bottom I saw over that cliff was a slow alcoholic death with no one left to give a crap about whether I lived or died.

One step forward....... one more drink!

Seeing that I put myself into detox, they suggested that if I wanted a chance to stay sober to do 90 AA meetings at least in 90 days and get a sponsor!

I told the conselor, "Hey I will go to AA and get a sponsor, but I am married with kids and I work full time, there is no way I can do that many meetings in that amount of time!" He asked me to make a deal with him, he asked me to simply spend as much time going to meetings as I did drinking, I agreed!

Well I made a lot more then 90 meetings and still had more time for my family then I had spent with them before I got sober.

"...........Well I made a lot more then 90 meetings and still had more time for my family then I had spent with them before I got sober.........."

isn't that a paradox of the program
"the meeting is too far"
"i haven't got an hour a night"
"i got better things to do'
yet
once you achieve balance and serenity in your life thru AA
even if you make a meeting a day
you get so many other things done
friends, family, social settings, etc

how many days, nights
"i can't do this / that, i'll have a drink'


thanks, t
