I'd say good luck Zo . . . . .

But luck has nothing to do with it! Most of us have to get our own
experience - being the EXTREMELY stubborn, self-will run riot ego-
maniacs that we are. I could give you a long story, if you want one -
email me.

I was "in", out of, and around "AA", thousands of "AA" meetings,
hospitals, detoxes, "sober living" homes, and other "programs" for 20
years before I found out what Alcoholics Anonymous really is. I found
out by losing EVERYTHING worthwhile in life, and having no choice but
to do what they did 70 years ago, that THAT IS all there is to it.
Nothing more, nor less, than doing about as precisiely as I can (word
for word) what the first 164 pages say they did. It works for 75% of
us that actually do it!!

You will probably have to have ask someone who has done, and does what
I do (what they did) - to show you what to do.

We Had to be Shown.

Thy Will Be Done!!!
