I want what you have Joe!! :)

Speaking of some being sicker than others, I watched Intervention tonight. This dude was in the hospital and being told one more binge could be fatal. Ya know what he did? OMG! He drank the hand sanitizer in the hospital room because it contained alcohol!!!

It made me cry..but said at the end he had been sober since September of 08. Now THAT'S a miracle!

You are confusing me, Joe.
Why are you posting this when you supported Gunthead in "Cured"????
This is not making sense to me.
Let's not mince words. Your thread-this thread-is about G.

I'd like to have what you got Joe. Holycrp, I like my beer very much, but I really don't think I could drink the sanitizer like this person did. You would think that they would have taken note of that since he was an alcoholic. Bet they do now. Wish me luck people. I need it BAD.

Actually Kate,
We had a still suffering alcoholic in full blow disease mode enter in our meeting tonight and it was sobering for all concerned. We also did a wet chip for a dry chip exchange as well. These things keep me sober. I also watched a century worth of years go up an get anniversary chips tonight. Experience, strenght, and hope!!

I like what you got JTex. Like what SLee said on the other post. 100% success rate for me today :}

Any alcoholic that is sober and happy is a miracle and a great day.

I'll agree with that

You aint got a damn thing I want. Folks need to remember that human beings are imperfect and will fail them. They need to trust God and clean up the wreckage of the past. Not trust Joe and clean up the wreckage of the past.

We have wet drunks all the time at our meetings. They are as welcome as Joe. If they become disruptive they are taken outside and spoken too. I am sober by the Grace of God. PERIOD. I am no better than the guy walking in the door wreaking of alcohol. I am just blessed with sobriety.

So, let's put the ego where it belongs. In humility.

Guru

Gee. I miss ALL the fun stuff.

Some people getting help havn't quite met their GOD yet Guru. They havn't made it through those doors wet or dry. The first people they sometimes meet are the Joes of this world. And man, some of those Joe's sure helped me.

holycrp...I was very alarmed at the idea of drinking hand sanitizer as well. Thank you, A&E and Intervention for making me cry last night.

I also saw intervention last night. OMG!!I cried when it showed Lawrence.He passed away after all that denial.Not to get off topic but....These people were very sick and the hand sanitizer thing! Whoa.That show helps me look closer at my own addiction and how very fragile life is as an addict especially.

hey joe...i love your positive attitude and the willingness to give it away. TY. What is a wet drunk? I agree w/ the concept that some are sicker than others...i see some people drink mouthwash because it contains alcohol. It caused this one guy to go temperarily blind.

In Joe We Trust. At least his name isn't Alexander... that wouldn't fit on a dollar bill so well!

Hey Kate - is there some kind of ego-transference thing going on? Now you're assuming posts are about Gunthar without him.

(this is a joke, please do not take offense Kate, or Joe)

YAWNNNN
