There is no such thing as making a normal drinker out of an alcoholic. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Today I am grateful...
- that I do not have thoughts that maybe one day I can drink like a normal person
- for acts of providence
- that today is Bob S's 85th birthday. Happy Birthday, Bob!
- that I am still surviving the summer, but I am wilted at the end of every day
- for the trust and knowing I will be provided what I need for this day
Surrounded by so many A.A. friends, the so-called loners tell us they no longer feel alone. In partnership with others--women and men--they can devote themselves to any number of ideas, people, and constructive projects. They can participate in enterprises which would be denied to family men and women. We daily see such members render prodigies of service, and receive great joys in return. ~As Bill Sees It

Thanks, again, for being there.
I am so grateful that I am an alcoholic and have found this wonderful world/life of recovery.
I am also grateful that I too, know that I will never be able to drink like normal people.
Happy Birthday Bob. And Happy Thursday Scott. It sure was good to talk with you yesterday.
I'm with you on acts of providence. Everything else as well. But providence? I'm really with you there.
I am glad to have my brother back! I wish there was some way to send some of this wonderful August weather we are having your way.
I am a loner who no longer is alone. It's a nice feeling.
Whatcha mean, I can't drink like normal people? Heck, I AM a normal people. It's just that I'm a normally crazy, sometimes idiotic alcoholic, trying every day to get better...BTW, I also don't drink!
...and they tell ME I'm not normal. PHSHAWWW. -grin-
Ya think.
Wishing you a great day, Scott!
