Thanks ya'll......

As I sit and write to my peers, I sit not as a power of example, but as an example of the power of God . To humble myself before God, in the morning on my knees, paves the days way with human interaction.

This is what has worked for me, one day at a time, for a few thousand days. But first, the beauty of AA.

In AA, there are fruitcakes,nuts,buttfaces and some pretty good people. When I first started going, it was the last resort. They (aa'er's) said, "when nobody else wants yaa, your just right for AA". Oh my goodness gracious! And I asked "are yaa sure"?, they said "yep". They spoke honestly, and darned if they did'nt mean what they said(and did'nt say it toooo mean,hehe).

I was raised on old school AA in balmer city. There is a liquor store on almost every corner and crackheads and dopefiends took the streets over when the sun went down. I did a 28 day court ordered stay, at a closed down, half boarded up elementary school on the west side of town that, was converted into a treatment center. At least it was free .

....and I'll close with this (how many times yaa heard that one!), with all the work on myself that I have done, the BEST thing AA gave me, was the chance "to make my own peace, with my own God(of MY understanding), in my own time"................

AA is NOT religious.....we are spiritual.....

Religion is for those who fear going to hell, spirituality is for those of us who lived in hell............

Religious man sittin' in church thinkin' bout' fishin'
Spiritual man fishin' thinkin' bout' God...............

A guy asked me the other day, "yaa go to church"?
I replied, "if I gotta go to church to find God, then everywhere I goes is church"..........hehe

.......luv ya'lls........thanks again..........sparrow
