It's so easy 2 forget where this disease can take me if I were to go back, which is why I need to be remimded by posts like this. Thank you so much for sharing Janet L.
my disease has only one purpose, and that is to destroy me. with that constant reminder embeddeb in my head, it makes working my program vital every single day. Deano S.
I love this quote from the AA big book and I think it relates to the picture above... in that it helps to keep me in check so I don't lose sight of alcohol being only a symptom of the real spiritual problem that is underneath alcoholism..... "We are careful never to show intolerance or hatred of drinking as an institution. Experience shows that such an attitude is not helpful to anyone. Every new alcoholic looks for this spirit among us and is immensely relieved when he finds we are not witchburners. A spirit of intolerance might repel alcoholics whose lives could have been saved, had it not been for such stupidity. We would not even do the cause of temperate drinking any good, for not one drinker in a thousand likes to be told anything about alcohol by one who hates it. " BB p 103 Kevin D.
