We had a LOT to celebrate on Thanksgiving. My brother Don, 57, came down and told us what we'd never known before: he's been in AA for a year now, going to 6 meetings a week, and hasn't touched alcohol in all that time. He's been an alcoholic, of which we were only too aware, for forty years. Forty years! And he's come out of the desert! He's home!
Lost his lovely wife. Lost his two wonderful daughters. Lucky he can drive again. And here he was, totally relaxed about other people drinking, happily contenting himself with cranberry juice and seltzer. He's really, totally impressed with AA. Spent the past three days telling us everything about it he knows, in detail. The people he meets in AA are just great.

We really didn't know much about AA before. We're really impressed, we're really thankful for AA, and so wildly happy about Don. We understand it's a daily fight. We think we can understand a little about the temptations. But it sure made the best Thanksgiving we've had in a long, long while! THANK YOU!!! (Just overflowing with gratitude.) Ygrec
