*Wanting* Recovery. For anyone reading this Board.

When I came in these rooms I was so hurt and sick I was terrified.  I was terrified it was the end and I could see nothing but a evil world.  In the rooms I could feel a prescence of something "Godlike".  I kept hearing at the meetings "Are there any burning desires to share" and after a while of being in so much pain, I truly WANTED recovery.  I hope if anyones on this board who is visiting or suffering that you will Want it as well, because this program does heal.  But you have to truly Want the help from somewhere..Wherever you feel that higher being is.

 

To Hell with this disease.I want to win and I hope you do too

Keep Coming Back

(And make sure you Want it)

BoozeWar.

They like to remind people at our meetings that this is a program for people who want it, not for people who need it.

It really wasn't until I got the gift of desperation that I was willing to go to any lengths for sobriety. And when you're done, you're done (maybe).

To all who come seeking sobriety, keep coming. The Miracle does happen!

I was told recently that AA isn't for those that need it, nor for those that want it....

It's for those that DO it.

All the best.

That works for me Bob. I actually have a guy that runs a good Tuesday meeting I love...He says that a lot. It's spot on if you ask me. Only one way to get results and that's to do the thing.
