Hi Bryan!
I am an alcoholic.  I've been going to AA for some years now.  I remember
thinking that it was so much fun to drink and 'party' all the time that when
I had to quit that life would be so boring and depressing all the time.  I
was really surprised at how my life changed for the better over time after I
got sober.  And these days when I have fun, it is much more meaningful.
It's very hard to put into words, but I have a joy in my heart that was
never there before.  I have seen a lot of my dreams come true, and I know it
is because I did the deal...

I just wanted to write and encourage you.  I don't try to push AA on anyone,
just like I don't try to push Jesus on anyone - to each his own and what is
good for one person is not always good for another.  But if you think it
would help you better your life, I'm sure it will.

With hope and heart,
Kathleen

Off subject but i think i'm done drinking..  I've
had a lengthy alcohol history that included lots
of legal problems and life problems in general.
Going to find where the AA meetings are in my area
and try to fit in my schedule.  I went before so
there nothing new to me.  Read the AA big book
while i sat in jail for 37 days due to a third
dui.  Sick of drinking.  This is a big admission i
send this out with some delay but if i say this
now put it in words i think i improve my chances
of quitting.



Thank you for your words of encouragement. I've been to AA meetings so it's not anything new. I enjoyed going to meetings. I wanna go to meetings, and at 10 am this morning i'm going to a meeting.

My life isn't bad but it can be better if i don't drink. I have no doubts about it.

I am an alcoholic i have no doubts about it. I've been able to admit it for some time now.

And now it's time to do something about it..

And it's so simple i'm a firm believer AA is right for me. It was after i quit going before i started drinking again. But that is just me.

Besides drinking don't help on my smoking lol...
