This is the best quote I got from my private messages! (about following the 12 steps etc.) as it was a `private' message, I'll not disclose the sender, but I think you know who it was <grin>


anyways, for everyone here just reading the forum just like before BEFORE quiting:

Acceptance is hard,


acceptance makes all else easy.


Admitting that I was an alcoholic was not so hard.  Accepting it was extremely hard.  Finally accepting without reservation, made it easier to go on with the next steps.


Accepting that there was a Power greater than myself, and that I was not master of my fate, was hard. 


Accepting God's love and grace, made life's trivial upsets easier to take.
