Getting angry can sometimes be like leaping into a wonderfully responsive sports car, gunning the motor, taking off at high speed and then discovering the brakes are out of order.~Maggie Scarf

Today I am grateful...

  • to have seen Laura L pick up her one year chip last night
  • that I did not speak my rehearsed speech last night when I was confronted by someone from my past. Instead I just turned my head away and let it go.
  • for a call from a fellow AA immediately after the meeting. That 12 step call kept me out of my stuff.
  • that William can wear gold shoes and get away with it
  • for good orderly direction

Anyone got a topic for the week at Sobriety Society?


This deal is as simple as A.B.C. - Accept, Begin and Continue. It doesn't take a lawyer or some intellectual gorilla to decipher that. And you can do it downtown or uptown or anywhere else. It doesn't make any difference. And if you'll hold on to the God of your understanding, the truth about yourself - namely that you cannot take one drink - and hold on to your AA friends, you'll hold on to total abstinence. And that's the name of this game. - John C.

I got an email from Leela
about joining SOBRIETY SOCIETY. She had some questions about the joining process. She is new to blogging and really likes what is going on in the recovery forums.

Thanks for all that you do ;)
