Very Grateful @ 48 days !!!
Hey guys/gals,
My laptop had crashed so missed a few days here, but back in the saddle again. Was a mixed blessing being disconnected. Used some time to read, and caught-up on my assigned Big Book readings. I've come again to really love that text. I have no doubt it's divinely inspiried somehow. Going to AA meetings daily, as I don't want to squander the gift given by whoever out there 48 days ago. Am not a religious person, but have no doubt that there's someone/something out there that's saving my alcoholic "behind", one day at a time right now.
Meeting at noon, and back to gym for some free, and legal, endorphins :-) Merry Christmas to all of my SR brothers & sisters !!! MJM

48 days is terrific!!
Yes, I agree there is indeed divine inspiration in the text.
I have recently been reading as Bill Sees it as well as BB. Loaded it as an ibook; From today's reading.....
"It has often been said of A.A. that we are interested only in
alcoholism. That is not true. We have to get over drinking in order
to stay alive. But anyone who knows the alcoholic personality by
firsthand contact knows that no true alky ever stops drinking
permanently without undergoing a profound personality change."
<< << << >> >> >>
We thought "conditions" drove us to drink, and when we tried to
correct these conditions and found that we couldn't do so to our
entire satisfaction, our drinking went out of hand and we became
alcoholics. It never occurred to us that we needed to change ourselves
to meet conditions, whatever they were.
End
Well said Bill
Glad you're here Houmjm!
Life is an unlikely miracle.

Excellent news, MJM, so happy for you, my friend 
I agree about AA. I'm also not (or wasn't) religious, but I feel that the text is divinely inspired too.
I said on another thread earlier that it feels like I've been given a second chance at this thing called life and I feel like you in that I don't want to squander this precious gift.
