Desire

I love it when people keep coming back even when they have relapsed and love the 3rd tradition from NA and AA which goes...

The only requiremnet for membership is a desire to stop...

Bless SR

I agree, even though I did two months, in the hardest point of my life, I have since gone back to drinkng, but even when I am drunk, I still have the desire to rid myself of this affliction. AA members do not govern. I addmitted freely to my home group that I still drank, but I wouldn't be at AA unless I wanted a change.

And I sincerely do....
I hate it, but it 'takes the edge off'

I need help...

And I know it,
But at least once a week, on a thursday, I dont drink.
Not epical, but it's a start.

I wish you all the best mate.

Facing up to what's going on ?
The wise thing to do but not allways easy...
Good luck to those that will do it today !!
