But for the grace of God..........Everytime I "take this test" the only "no's" are for 6, 11, 18 & 20, & the word YET always comes to mind.......Had it not been for AA and God, I'm positive "yes" to all 20 was just a matter of time.


 


Thanks for the reminder, my friend.

Wow, Phil. I answered no to 7. And I'm sure the only reason that's a no is because I did it "all" in a town where nearly every one of us that hungout in high school drank together. Had I been in a larger city? Exposed to more of a diverse community? I'd have found market street, no doubt.....
