STOPPING -- ONLY THE START "If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 76 "...You have freed me from my bonds." Psalm 116:16 For what it's worth: Alcoholism ruined me from the inside out, including every part of my being. A total transformation was necessary for recovery. The only Program I found capable of this was Alcoholics Anonymous. First, I had to stop drinking, and as difficult and significant as that was, it was only the start. Abstinence then allowed the steel doors to open to reveal the real me, chained in many bonds - bondage of self, slavery to habits of reaction, defense mechanisms, old ideas, unknown fears, and resentments. The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and a merciful Higher Power are working together to set me free. And it looks like gaining total freedom will be a life long process. So every morning I ask God for willingness to persevere and enough humility to ask for help. God bless you! Joe W.
