YOU MAKE AMENDS SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD. IF YOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE IT ALL BETTER FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE WAITING FOR ALL ETERNITY. MAKING AMENDS MEANS YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY. SO YOU WERE HARMED BY OTHERS WOW THATS PROFOUND. A PERSON WAS HARMED BY ANOTHER PERSON WHAT A CONCEPT. I WONDER IF THAT HAS EVER HAPENED TO ANY OF THE OTHER 6 BILLION HUMANS OR WETHER IT WAS JUST YOU.

Last weekend I was at a restaurant with a small store and many of the tee-shirt slogans were related to alcohol: “My Indian name is Runs With Beer”. These types of tee-shirts did not exist when I was a kid. Now they’re all over the place. What’s a kid to think?

That is exactly why the steps are in the sequence they are. Try 8 and 9 again after the first 7 and see if you have a different perspective.

Comment on Withdrawal by Brooke

Actually, withdrawal lasts up at least two years so the possibility of you sleeping through it is unlikely. I am an alcoholic and I enrolled in the Army Substance Abuse Program and was given information on Post Acute Withdrawl. Your brain needs time to learn to function again without alcohol. Irritability and sleeping problems are also symptoms of withdrawal, which I experienced when I quit drinking for three weeks. I started sleeping all day and I was extremely moody and I felt the only way to get myself back to normal was to start drinking again. I will need some outside help if I wish to conquer this addiction.

Comment on Good Examples and Horrible Warnings by Alan

Thanks for the website and this post. It reminded me of my brother, who died from one of those diseases (throat cancer) that are statistically more common among alcoholics. He battled alcoholism for many years. He sobered up only after his fourth try in a residential program that lasted six months. Like you he finally decided he wasn’t like other people, when it came to alcohol. That’s when he began living again and repairing his relationships with his family. He lived sober for about 10 years. I think it was a good 10 years.

Smoking can help in calming my nerves whenever I feel stressed. But, sometimes I feel guilty because I?m putting my body at risk.
