3years sober and "grateful to be an alcoholic".I never really understand what that meant,when I would hear that statement made in meetings,until a few months ago.I can personaly say that now with conviction.While drinking I would have periods of going to church, trying to find GOD and to find a relationship with him.I could never find it.Through being an alcoholic and finding AA, I have found the most loving GOD that can be imagined.He forgives me and keeps me sober.After being drunk for 28 years,HE has given me a life that was only dreamed of.Grateful!

It is great to see A.A. growing to the point that it is available to even those that may not be able to leave their home for one reason or another. There still isn't any substitute for a face to face meeting, but this is helpful when you are down and need something, and have no way to get to your home group for what ever reason.

Grateful to have renewed hope in recovery. Kinda got the doldrums after several years. Went back out and tested it, not a good idea. Rather be confused sober than miserable drinking! Was in "other" fellowship, feels good to sample AA. There IS alot of warmth and love here. Feel Free to Email me! (Thanks HP!)

Hi everyone, I recently came back to AA after a relapse that lasted two months. I have decided that I want this way of life more than anything. I have 17 days sober today and I am happier now than my best day drinking. I love you all and thank you all for loving me until I am able to love myself. (I'm not there yet!!!) Oh yeah Merry Christmas!!!

I hope & pray that all of you have a blessed holliday season. Thank you for your prayers, especially the moments of silence for people like myself during a very insane period of my life. I miss you and hope to come home some day to give back what was and is always freely given to me.

This message is for anyone out there still suffering. Just release yourself, your will and your life, over to the care of your higher power, who or whatever that may be, and trust in them that they will lead you down the right path. Whatever that path may be, it will be a much better path than the one you are or were travelling. Know that there are other recovering and still suffering alcoholics out there who are praying and hoping that you will find your way into the open arms of this wonderful program. The program will always be there for you whenever you decide to reach out and grab it whether that be today, tommorrow, or next year. But believe me, the sooner you let go and make that decision, oh my, the wonders of life will never cease to open your eyes to new experiences. Things you have never noticed in your life will leave you in awe. As well as problems which used to overwhelm you and seem insurmountable will suddenly seem petty compared to the wonders of the life which you have now so graciously found. So to all of the suffering alcoholics out there, just keep looking and you shall find the loving hand of Alcoholics Anonymous opened and waiting to grasp yours and raise you to higher ground.

Let us pray that our Higher Powers guide us in better carrying the message in this internet world. Having sites like this and posting to this wall look like a good start in that direction by providing us a place to post our group conscience while maintaing our unity of purpose.

I was so scared that I could not even go home.I had not had anything to drink in years, but I suffered from the worst panic attacks that you could immagine.I found that I had a disease of the spirit called Alcoholism.Once in the program, I found immediate relief.I have found the existence of a wonderful GOD that I come to understand more and more each day.If you too suffer from panic or anxiety attacks,ask God to help you and then listen to God sent suggestions like I did.If you will be Honest with yourself, have an open mind to follow suggestions and a Willingness to practice spiritual principals in your life, you too can arrest your disease.IT WORKED FOR ME. I thank GOD every moment for my serenity. I am now not affraid to go anywhere and enjoy a peace that I never knew.
GOD BLESS

alcoholism is a very dangerous disease. it's not something to be ashamed of but is something to deal with. you can take it so far, then you cross the line and there is no point
of return and death is iminate. make a conscious decision
to stop the use of alcohol, seek your higher power for help
because he is there waiting. believe me, life on this side
is more wonderful than you can imagine.

It's another quiet late night and I find a copy of the The Messenger on my desk as I am sorting out the chaos of my home office... and rather than set it aside as usual, I open it and read several articles on gratitude... just for me?? And because of this, and this alone, I once again find some gratitude. As I smile and am putting The Messenger down, I happen to notice the number of web site hits for the month (285) and realize that even though I am online for many hours each day, not one of those "hits" was from me. So here I am, and once again, thank you for being here for me, as always, never changing, always guiding, always leading when I am willing to listen. Thank you AA.

I have many friends that are in AA, its changed my life seeing what it can do to people and how its changed lives. It made me realize that I should never start drinking. I feel badly for those who do but i feel so proud of the people that accomplish soberity. This is for Judy and Peter Rittman who gave me a family, they have been sober for 20 years, now in 1998.... I'm proud!!!!!!
Love K.T.C.

A rough day. Daughter is going back to jail, just lost another job, no money to pay me. Wah Wah. or I can remain grateful for the losses and the darkness in exchange for the gains and light. Choose to remain grateful. Was always told to be honest, sobriety has some rough spots, but by remaining grateful, I continue to have serenity. It just isn't easy to remember this when the #@$% hits the fan. Anyway, I know I'm not alone and it is still only today I have to worry about. Love Alcoholics Anonymous, without it, I would be locked up, crazy or dead. Glad to be alive. Hello everyone out there. Just love grafitti. Love Sue W.

Truly God has done for me what I couldn't do for myself. After 2 1/2 years sober, my life and family is back together. I could never return to AA what it has given to
me. Glad I could share.

We just had our 16th Anniversary dinner at Back to Basics on Friday night. What a blast. Great fellowship and food and two speakers named Conrad and Frank B. I had never met. They were among the founders of our group and were fantastic and inspirational. I never approached having this much fun when I was drinking. It was wonderful to look around the room and realize that everyone there was family, even those I had not met before. I love AA and I now love life like never before! God has truly done for me what I could not do for myself. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this year's dinner an overwhelming success and to the Una Church of Christ whose members have been so hospitable to us all these years!

We moved from Nashville 10 years ago and really miss the meetings in Brentwood & Franklin. Haven't been to any meetings in years but haven't had a drink since 1979 either. Maybe one day I'll get back to Brentwood see if they're still "howlin' at the moon". Thanks for taking me back, Molly

AA gave me God and God gave me AA, and I will never be able to pay back what AA has given me. I have my family back, and i have a new family( my AA family) and i have a new life today. i have a sponcer that i can tell anything to and not be afraid,and when i need to be kicked she will do that also and i am so greatful for her. I have a homegroup and that home group is just like it sounds its my home, its where im close to the people in it and they can call me on things when i need to be called on or there when i need a shoulder to lean on or there just to shair the happy times with. I'm in alot of service work and i love it .i am coming up on 6 yrs. 10-10-98 and i dont know where i would be if i didnt have god and you people in aa and live these steps.The only way i know i can pay back to AA is , not drink, read my big book,go to meetings,and do service work, put my hand out to other alcoholic like someone did me. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
