In my first year of sobriety I remember a younger fellow who often shared about his (I might be wrong on the specifics) leukemia. He spoke of having, I believe, six years sober. I also remember a day when a number of folks from my first home group (Blue Point Traditions) gathered at a members’ […]
Rant ahead >
I’d only mentioned it at a meeting a few nights ago.
When you’re in the middle of the sh** it sux. Right now, it sux. Funny (not really) how my initial reactions are no different than ages ago. You know, those on the inside, in the gut.
I want to cut and run. Everything is […]

Don’t Detox Yourself - Please!
Your Life, or Someone Else’s Life, Is At Stake
Please, if you’re newly sober and inexperienced in the ways of “coming off” alcohol, for yourself, or for someone else, pay attention! I’ll bet Buddy has something to say on this topic… and he does!
“For those who have committed themselves to not drinking […]
I love it when I sit in a meeting and I hear someone say “I was debating with myself.” I know it happens “out there” yet it always seems so appropriate when it relates to an alcoholic.
Do you ever have this one? This one could be life or death…
I’m a real alcoholic. No, I’m not. […]
