Congrats Tommy

Take the 5th ASAP

For a God-resistant person, maybe there is hope. See, I think the word God is a real turn off. No, I don't want what the churchy godders have. So, I definitely need a higher power of my own understanding. Here is one I thought up this morning. What if your sponsor said this to you: Your higher power...

Congrats Innermost. Glad you are here. 1985 was a good year to get sober.

Celebrate when you want and tell the others to keep to themselves.

I just started reading the 12 step book published by NA. It is very interesting.

I have been seeking a meaning to life than does not revolve around me being an alcoholic. My adult life (35 years) has been sober. Life in AA, or more accurately, the pursuit of conscious contact along with people in a fellowship, has been incredible. I've reflected on my spiritual life and my -ism...

if you google 'russell brand recovery the program' you can get a pdf of the steps with many interesting questions to ask yourself. Questions for each step. Very thought provoking imo.

Did he work the 12 Step of AA?

Yes. The book is sort of a guide to working the steps. I find his use of the f word to be funny and mind opening.

The book "Recovery" by Russell Brand is a very fascinating rendition of the 12 Steps. When my first sponsor worked with me, I used the Big Book, the 12 and 12, The Little Red Book and pamphlets from Hazeldon. I read each step in each book, a little each day, and journaled. I completed each step in t...

welcome back ebear. I'm glad you are here.

Good to hear from you Paige.
