Hello!

After being gone for a few weeks, it is good to be back, but it took me a while to miss blogging. I have been stopping by here and there, but not spending near as much time as I was on my computer. It has been a good thing. But I miss the feedback, and sharing. Mostly I miss it for ME. I miss my outlet, and I miss you people. Still blogging without obligation.

So what's new? Well, I am still clean and sober and working the steps. Still have a sponsor, and I am still sponsoring.

I have been keeping up with Pam and Mary Christine mostly. Some of the comments on Pam's posts have really made me want to start blogging again. I am a Big Book thumper too, and hope to be until the day I die. What some people seem to fail to realize is that this is a matter of life and death for us folks. And while you might not hurt me with your watered down version of what you THINK this program is, you may be killing someone else with your bullshit that has kept you from picking up a drink somehow up to this point. Some people may want to call us natzis or the AA police....have at it! I know that I am a REAL alcoholic, and I need to find a power greater than myself, an unhuman power to restore me to sanity. I need to work the steps with another alcoholic, some call that sponsorship, although the actual word sponsor does not appear anywhere in the first 164 pages, it is talked about over and over.

Ah, that feels much better!
