I started a Web Site in 1999 when I came back into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. Tripod decided to block me a few years ago , so I stopped writing, posting. SO I decided to take the posts I had there and put them here. Plus new ones I found on the net and shares of my own. Take what you need and pass on the rest! Blessings ds♥

FIRST, THE FOUNDATION



Practicing the A.A. program is like building  a house. First I had to pour a big, thick concrete slab on which to erect the house; that, to me, was the equivalent of stopping drinking.
 
But it's pretty uncomfortable living on a concrete slab, unprotected and exposed to the heat, cold, wind and rain. So I built a room on the slab by starting to practice the program.
 
 The first room was rickety because I wasn't used to the work. But as time passed, as I practiced the program, I learned to build better rooms.
 
 The more I practiced, and the more I built, the more comfortable, and happy, was the home I now have to live in.
