Three strikes and
I'm outta here. I've tried to post a blog 3 times and lost it each time. I have got myself hyped up so much over an advertisement that's been running on TV for way too long, and today I decided to look into it. The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure is a book that a smoothie is offering on TV. Of course...

TIME GETS BETTER WITH AGE.
I learned that I like my teacher because she cries when we sing "Silent Night". Age 5 I learned that our dog doesn't want to eat my broccoli either. Age 7 I learned that when I wave to people in the country, they stop what they are doing and wave back. Age 9 I learned that just when I get my room...

I felt a pressing desire to write
a lot of posts on my alcoholism, because going through it and coming out the other side could be useful to some perhaps, but of course my life became so much more with every year that passed in sobriety in AA. I never wrote a love story about my life and love for Joyce my previous wife, we just...

After ten years of sobriety,
I had ten years of successful sobriety in 1977. Life had been good to me and the family had grown. The oldest three high school graduates and the youngest two were working at getting to graduation.

It took my father a long time
to talk to me about my being sober, and was never comfortable having a drink when I was present. My mother however, was never uncomfortable about my decision nor was she uncomfortable with me sober. Her love was unconditional, even when I had married my first wife whom she disliked with a passion....

Miracles started happening
twelve years after I looked like this at age nineteen in St. Avold France. Sobriety for me gave me a faith in a God of my own understanding, whom I had never known in my entire life previously. The guy in this picture didn't have faith. It didn't happen right away after I got sober the first time,...

On their first date,
The alcoholic kid. a man asked his companion if she'd like a drink. "Oh, no. What would I tell my Sunday school class?" she said. Later he offered her a cigarette and again she declined. "What would I tell my Sunday school class.?" On the drive home, he saw a motel. Figuring he had nothing to...

She was a good person,
my first wife 'B', and I have not been in touch with her for years and years. My choice, because of my mental state, but not out of hate.But I have never taken the time to look back at the our entire relationship, and give credit where credit is due. Most importantly, not talk at all about her...
