In Concept XII, Fourth Warranty, “That all important decisions, be reached by discussion, vote, and whenever possible, by substantial unanimity.” Throughout the book of concepts they say as a reminder that these apply at all levels of world service, and in concept 5 they state - “Unless it has been...

The few times I've needed narcotic pain relievers, I got rid of them as soon as I could deal with the pain. I try to avoid narcotics as much as possible. They don't receive the pain from whatever body trauma I have, they just tell my brain not to care about it. I'd rather have deal with a little mor...

Been sober 43 years and still don't have a definition for God. Ijust know its not me. There are a couple of thousand different religions with their of definition. Making up another one makes not difference. Or, Just don't worry about it and just try to help others.

As my Sponsor used to say, "How many people did you call?"
I stay sober by being of service to others, not others doing S*** for me.

Still here in this crazy year to celebrate 43 years!

I found for myself early on not to write anything down. Just went up there and shared my experience, strength and hope. Wherever it took me, that’s where it went. I’m not up there to entertain or tell a great story. I’m sharing when I am at during that moment in time. My only prep is to say the Sere...

Just because I feel that I am not growing spiritually, doesn't mean I'm not growing spiritually. My Sponsor repeatedly had to remind me that you don't get 5 years of sobriety until the earth goes around the sun five times. My biggest spiritual hurtle was when I stopped trying to get sober, and just ...

Congratulations!

I’m an atheist and AA has helped keep me sober for 42 years working the 12 Steps. Just as I accept that I am not the supreme being, it has worked. I find talking and helping other human beings is easier to put into action than believing in some ghost.

Contact your local Al-Anon group. You are powerless over her alcoholism just as she is.

Been sober since 1977. Still basically the same AA, but with different generation. Back then we still had some of the area founding members, and the WWII veterans were inspirational. Every meeting was smoking and you could cut the air with a knife, while sitting in church basements with friable asbe...

If you want to save your soul, go to church, if you want to save your ass, go to AAA. AAA has saved my ass before too! But I am pretty sure you meant AA. Funny story. 50 years ago a woman in our community called AAA trying to reach Alcoholics Anonymous. By the Grace of whatever is Higher, the perso...

If you want to save your soul, go to church, if you want to save your ass, go to AA.

Why?, because it works for some of us. It was the hook. I could not comprehend a lifetime of not drinking, but 24 hours seemed possible. It kept me around long enough to where Step 2 made a little sense. Some of us are real slow to comprehend things. I'm grateful I found a sponsor with compassion an...

up to 42 now. Thank you AA!
