Welcome ! Rob

hi Rob,


I have noticed that you have been checking us out here.  And the Good news that you did not go out to get some more liquor, is A GREAT BIG DEAL.


The only REQUIREMENT for becoming a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, is a DESIRE to quit drinking.  I get the feeling you are coming to that conclusion, or you would not have missed the cut off time for the liqour store.


I hope you will stay here, and that you will join us,  yesterday was a sad a depressing day for a lot of us, but when you think about, no one went and got drunk.  That how this Program works.


So I am so happy that you responded to my Post, and more happy, that you are thinking maybe of staying here with us?


We have a lot quality Experience, Strength and Hope, right here, and would love to hear from you about how you ended up here, maybe a little background on your Drinking Career, if you want to? Or whatever it is you would like to share with us.


We are a group of Recovering Drunks, that do not Drink, one day at a time. And If we can make it, so can you.


i will be right back, I have to go get some websites for you.


Toni
