Gratitude-A Reminder Last night I was a t a meeting, and old timers were welcomed. A couple of people glanced my way, and I guess it a fitting title in that fellowship. I should be grateful. I was there again, and free from addictions. Over the last period of time, we have had some major employment changes, family disappointments and have made a decision to relocate to a new area about an hour away. With all the change that has taken place, I can get down and worried and put stress... Read More

Why??-Do they. Another great question that came from a friend. If we replace the word alcohol with any of a hundred words, the question and response are every bit as relevant. Why does he behave like this? If hundreds of experiences have shown him that one drink means another debacle with all its attendant suffering and humiliation, why is it he takes that one drink? Why can't he stay on the water wagon? What has become of the common sense and will power that he still sometimes display... Read More
