I have heard about it on the radio, tussel. There is one in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

i attend the one where i live here. hopefully thing will get back on track again.

BUT IT'S NOT REALLY AA, IF YOU READ & STUDY THE TRADITIONS, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN

I enjoy a cold one...but my sibling is an addict....i had to kick him out of my house for not following the rules....there were only two......

1. take your meds.

2. go to work...

He has talked to me twice in the three years since....

I have never been adicted to alcohol, but one of my best friend's died because of alcohol. He never came to see, the reality of alcoholism.
From that they I pray for every person with problems with alcohol for them to see the risks they are taking.
My heart is with all you.
Congratulations to every single one who has been able to overcome adiction.
Now is time to go ahead and reach those who are where you were some time ago, and help them as brothers and sisters.

Good Morning Everyone

My name is Jayne (Twitch) and I am an alcoholic. I am sober for 16 yrs. First drink at 13; last drink at 37, April 1, 1992 (my bottom which ended in jail).

Walked into my first AA meeting and only by the Grace of God I've never looked back. Although on ocassion I do GLANCE at my past to keep it green, I never STARE at it.

I work a program, I have the same sponsor (who also has a sponsor). I sponsor other women, I don't drink and go to meetings.

I lost my job in January 2008 and things have been rough for me. I have not felt the need to drink -- it's not an option. If any of you need to talk you can e-mail me. We are all in this together; we can't do it alone.

i started this journry on nov. 15, 1989, by the grace of god & the program, i will be sober 19 years tomorrow. i have yet to find a good reason to pick up a drink, because there is no good reason.

Congrats Tiger

Got to pick up my medallion, tonight. Made the time for 25 years, Tuesday. A married lady asked me if I would come pick her up to take to the meeting. I had picked up some coffee cups, stir sticks and spoons so we didn't have to use the church's. Picked up some garbage bags so she would have a place to sit in the car. She dragged out our AA big plastic container so we could put our pamphlets and books on the table. She wasn't too worried about it being just her and me to fill the hour up because she knows how long winded I am.

25 years!! Kudos to you!

Someone close to me just celebrated a year clean and sober last week. I went to his NA meeting for the celebration. He spoke and there was cake.

That is awesome. I am glad you were there for him. I will go tomorrow to pick my 25 years meeting at the NA meeting. It is a great program.

25 yrs. is what is awesome.

I think my sister might be an alcoholic.

Go tigermann, they told me my first 'birthday' was for me, the rest belonged to AA.
Thanks for sharing.

My brother is an alcoholic. He was dry for 20 yrs. He started drinking again, and almost died this yr. dryed out again, is drinking again.
