aa friends Community Group
Welcome. If you come to visit for the first time and have some questions feel free to ask. PM someone if you like but don't stay a stranger. We were all in the pit. We know a way out. No condemnation and no hammers. Just ask and prepare to make a load of friends.
And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone --
even alcohol.
For by this time sanity will have returned.
We will seldom be interested in liquor.
If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame.
We react sanely and normally,
and we will find that this has happened automatically.
We will see that our new attitude toward liquor
has been given us without any thought or effort on our part.
It just comes! That is the miracle of it.

Grateful I finally came to the conclusion it was either die or get well.
Of course a power greater than myself had a huge part in it.
"We will seldom be interested in liquor"~I rarely think about it, and if I do(only for a moment), usually it's because of a beer commercial or something. I am not obsessed by it anymore! No fond memories of drinking anymore, I only have a healthy fear of alcohol. I am convinced that if I drink, It won't work. I know the deal.
It is a miracle when each of us is released from the bondage of mental obsession! When we were drinking, such a thing seemed impossible.
