IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

I have no medical evidence that I have brain damage, but I know this; that good feeling I got after about four beers or a couple of shots; that complete feeling of well-being, self confidence and self acceptance - happy, joyous and free. That's the exhilaration of brain cells dying. ~Doug D.
Today I am grateful...
  • that I am much more rational and sane than I was just five years ago
  • that if my experience of time passing keeps accelerating like it has, then some day I will get whip lash
  • that there is a solution, and it is vastly more than that
  • that Pam can still be considered a newcomer
  • that today I asked for my thinking to be redirected from the crazy thoughts of an alcoholic to that of a more sane person
All people having an alcoholic problem who wish to get rid of it and so make a happy adjustment with the circumstances of their lives, become A.A. members by simply associating with us. Nothing but sincerity is needed. But we do not demand even this. ~Bill W

God was extra busy today then, because I was asking him the same thing!

He was busy with me too!

I can remember saying in college that I didn't want to get drunk because I needed all my brain cells. I guess that was a good decision because I've found that I need as many as I have most days.

Amen Syd -- I would like to have some of mine back!
