I was told to pick up the Big Book and read it, instead of just let it sit on the coffee table or use it to prop up the window. I am guilty of not always picking the Book up unless I need an answer. Perhaps it is time for me to go back to some basics, and making it a part of my daily meditation.

I had to read it for identification. I had to find out about my disease. It took many forms, and that Dr. Bob had an addiction to pills, which was my problem due to chronic pain.

I stole a glass of wine at 10 and with the exception of wine at the breaking of bread service every Sunday after I was baptized at 14. I was put on Valium at 16 and when I married, they were my constant companions for years. My family doctor was my supplier for years, so reading the Doctor's Opinion, opened my eyes to a lot of things.

When I say a prayer, ask for the guidance and clarity of mind I need, the answers are there. As my sponsor says, "Just open the book and read."
