recovery or recovered means to return to help from a sickness we alcoholics have recovered from a hopeless state of mind and body to show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book the book Alcoholics Anonymous forward to the first edition... To be sober means not drunk to be clean means free from dirt AA is a fellowship the 12 steps is the program we become members of the fellowship when we say we are all that's required is a desire not to drink we get sover obviously first but then we change what our thinkingbecause alcohol and drugs are only a symptom of mental states that precede a relapse into drinking is the problem relapse is a process picking up is the last thing that happens our behaviors and attitudes the way we treat people isolate happen days weeks or months before we pick up that's why it is important to go to the fellowship get to know people so they can let us know when we start to behave like we used to before it's too late and we die it's about the quality of your rrecovery not the quantity of days we have today
