TwelveDrawings: I would have torn my flesh to get rid of addiction. But I refused to admit that God exists and loves me. THAT would be too painful. Insane!Tue, 29 May 2012 08:50:23

TwelveDrawings: I used to glare at sober people. I didn't see any reason they should have what I wanted so badly. I was sick. So very sick.Mon, 28 May 2012 23:27:35

TwelveDrawings: Thank you for shining an RT spotlight on recovery, @12StepAnonMon, 28 May 2012 21:48:42

TwelveDrawings: A lot of us were nothing but the baby pictures that our parent/soldiers carried in their pockets. That was enough for them. @carolo191Mon, 28 May 2012 19:54:34

TwelveDrawings: @psantoroLESC Thank you for the work you do. And thanks for the RT.Mon, 28 May 2012 19:37:54

TwelveDrawings: Officers whose soldiers die are surely hollowed a bit, seeing life come unhinged from its past and future.Mon, 28 May 2012 18:25:59

TwelveDrawings: Every returned soldier carries in his cells the life and laughter and bravery of someone who did not return. Bless them both.Mon, 28 May 2012 18:21:58

TwelveDrawings: It took me five years to decide to walk into a 12Step meeting. It was that solution or suicide. I have to remind myself it was THAT hard.Mon, 28 May 2012 18:18:33

TwelveDrawings: I heard a much respected speaker say 1/3 of Twelve Steppers get sober right after one hard try. 1/3 need many tries. 1/3 slip away. True?Mon, 28 May 2012 18:15:31

TwelveDrawings: @Soulutionista When faced with a hangover, a lot of alcoholics decide "like cures like" and start drinking again. Not what H. meant!Mon, 28 May 2012 11:48:43

TwelveDrawings: @12StepAnon God is the solution. The recovery group is a slingshot that helps hurtles us into that fourth dimension. Thank you for helping.Sat, 26 May 2012 02:07:26

TwelveDrawings: "God of my understanding" means that a very imperfect understanding of God is workable. Just accept the fragment you do understand.Fri, 25 May 2012 20:12:49

TwelveDrawings: Big Book is already full of ingredients. Just add willingness. Attend meetings. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.Fri, 25 May 2012 20:07:10
