Just a quick note before I get entrenched in work. I want to thank my Jewish family, my AA family, my extended family (which includes my friends from the way back machine), for my life. It still is a wonder for me how I got here. Im sober 8 years today. Unbelievable. I remember thinking at my first rehab that you program people had no idea who I was - I am what I am, and Im going to die with a needle in my arm. It simply wasnt true - I suffered only from my limited perception... If I can stay sober this long, anyone can. The AA Promises 1. If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. 2. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. 3. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. 4. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. 5. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. 6. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. 7. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. 8. Self-seeking will slip away. 9. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. 10. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. 11. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. 12. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them. Thank you for my life. Back to work...
