I think it's really interesting when someone feels the need to write some foul messages such as those written earlier today. My Grandfather once told me that profanity was the only way a fool could express himself strongly. I belive he was right, as evidenced by the previous writer.
Why all the anger? Not enough hugs from mommy perhaps. It sounds, to me, more like some one that got "Turned Out" in Prison tho. Whatever the cause, shame on you for bothering the adults. Now go play with the other kids and be nice, if you know how.

My initial moment of Grace arrived close to midnight while at my kitchen table. I experienced the most powerful sense of self-revulsion as if that sick part of me was suddenly revealed in all its ugliness. In that moment I accepted not only my addiction but also what I had become as a resut. That light of Grace gave to me this momentary vision of truth that has stayed with me till this day. That was February 17, 1974 and I have remained sober since. This gift also opened my heart and mind to travell the oft time rocky road in my life. As it has been written, I could not drink if I wanted to. Amen, and may you all find the peace that heals.

I am very grateful for this program. I can not say enough about the things that are most important to me. God, the Big Book, the steps, my sponsor who I need to call (I haven't talked to him today!) Especially service work. That may be the thing that saved my life. I can't stress enough how important it is to me. I'm also glad that A.A. believes in the third tradition because it took me a long time to surrender. They said keep coming back, and I did. Thank GOD!

I will be in Hohenwald, TN, Friday through Memorial Day. I need some sober support, if anyone is free to spend some time 'hanging out'. It's a stressful weekend: my future in-laws and wedding stuff. My fiancee doesn't quite get how I perceive this as stressful. Could be because he isn't one of 'us'. :) Thank you God for letting AA be there, wherever I happen to be!

It is only by the grace of my higher power that I am an actually memeber of this fellowship and a grateful alcoholic! I look forward to future endeavors where I may get to meet some other high class drunks but I'll think I'll just stay in the now and enjoy and work hard at something I new nothing about-how to live!

I truly believe I have a drinking problem, it's just a matter of time as to when I feel ready to face it... and get on my way to recovery. I am happy to be able to read all of the other experiences on this wall, and it certainly is motivating me just a bit more to seek help earlier than later. Thanks for such a nice website.

Hello everone that reads this. I found this website, and reading what people are writing inspires me to quit drinking. I started drinking at about 14 years old I am only 20 years old now and I have a drinking probem. I started get depressed and pissed off and hated life. Drinking is starting to ruin my life. I hope I can start living my life sober and clear. It's so hard having a drinking problem when your in college, where drinking is so common. Hopefully I can quit and find out what life is like sober. I also want to gain more faith in god and regain the respect from my friends.

This is my sixth day of complete sobriety and it's really wierd how that sounds! I find myself saying it over and over again! Without the help and unconditional support of this group, I wouldn't have realized how "messed up" I was doing the same insane things over and over again, wanting something different to happen. Now, instead of "rushing out" to the bar, I'm looking for a meeting when I have idle time. I know I can't make it w/out the AA Fellowship!! Thank you for your wisdom and support. jc

I am so sorry to see the vulgar, cheap additions to our wall. All I can hope for is that whoever feels so moved to write these, will eventually get sober and join the rest of us....I have to say, these could have been written by me when I was still drinking.

Goodsite, shows the true insanity of the disease! Through willingness to change and having conscious contact with the creator daily has crumbled the wall that kept me from being a true healthy being. Still plenty of room for progress,but when you finally decide your life will take off...it will! All you have to do is ask the big guy for help. I pray for all of you and for those who still suffer and for those who will die from the disease today. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Just wanted to share something that happened today. I work in the insurance business & a man we have insured recently received a DUI (his first). Through GOD & this program I was able to share with him the HOPE that AA has given me. I saw in his eyes the pain I felt when I got here. I told him GOD sent him to me today. (He agreed.) He reminded me it's still out there. The pain I saw in his eyes & felt in my chest for him I haven't felt in a long time. Most of the newcomers I've seen in meetings lately don't have the hurt & desperation this man did. When I told him a little about me he broke down. It's been a very long time since I've seen a grown man cry. I told him what you people taught me; it's ok to cry, let it out, you're human & you made a mistake, this too shall pass, FORGIVE YOURSELF. I spoke to him of GOD. I've thanked GOD for bringing this man to me today. I'm praying for this man as I know you people prayed for me. I have more blessings today than I count. Just writing this is making me cry (I'm sensitive-haha). I just get so overwhelmed with GRATITUDE that it spills right out. THANK GOD FOR AA!!!!

I signed the wall a few weeks ago. I've since been in AA and it has been a revelation to my inner self that words can't describe. My family took me to church all my life, I of course strayed during my drinking career, but always believed. But, its funny how I had to go to AA to learn the true meaning of Faith and Hope. I had several emails from people that saw my original posting here, and to them I would like to say: God bless you, and I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you. To anyone out there that is suffering, as I was just a few short weeks ago, If I could tell you anything I guess it would be. There are no quick fixes, my problems aren’t solved, but I have hope, I’ve been shown a better way. AA is full of examples of people just like you or me, that were in the dark, down and out, but they now have better lives than they ever envisioned. AA is not about just “not drinking” its about happiness, inner peace, there is a better way to live life!

Give them a call and tell them that you love them! Make your ammends and they'll realize that you're sorry and that things will get better! my life was pretty harsh, but i love my mom sooo much and we stood by her! i'm just really proud!

There has been some local discussion along the lines of "acting your way into better thinking", However this idea directly contradicts what the Big Book says. The book plainly states that our actions arise out of our thoughts, therefore it is our thinking that must change first. "Acting" one's way into better thinking coincides with the thought of "faking it till you make it" this sounds kind of like "lying your way into sobriety" Well, this alcoholic will stick with the big book idea, because acting, lying, and faking it are the very principles that always kept me drunk!
Hope evryone has a sober, happy, and safe Thanksgiving!

Hi there, I have been sober for 9 years and it never ceases to amaze me how that happened. I can be extremely greatful for the program of A.A. I also believe that God puts certain people I call Angels in our live to help us understand the past so that we can let it go. I have a new found awareness of myself and others that I am extremely greatful for. I still smoke alot of cigarettes and that is my next challenge. It's a tough one for me to let go but it is a must. May God be with all of you. Love JS

Does anyone know of meetings in the downtown area? I'm a first time poster on this board or any board of this kind. I need help, and I think I have finally realized I can't do it on my on. I've been what I guess you would call a "functional" achololic for years. I've always been strong willed and have seemed to make strides or improvements in my professional and personal life despite of my drinking. But now, I don't know anymore. Several months ago I was laid off, not caused from drinking, but I do know my drinking has hampered a fairly promising career. That has all been depressing enough and I am in general a very upbeat person. But now, I've hurt someone that is very dear to me that has been a huge part of my life for a long time. Drinking had been something that I seemed to control more and be more responsible with as I matured. Now, the wheels have come off and it all seemed to have happen so quickly, and in a very devestating way. God has been a big part of my life for sometime now, I've prayed sincerly to be a better person and better christian but it seems to be to no avail. Its as if I don't know who I am or what to do anymore. What was once a proud and strong human being now seems very hopeless and alone.

Dear "anonymous" ... I'm scared to. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I know what being scared is all about. You need to find someone NOW who you can sit with! Even if you don't talk about your fears just yet, sitting with someone you trust (a sober someone) will allow you time to sort through some things. Even at times when I'm not ready to "sort" things out... sitting w/ a friend keeps me out of trouble! (which can be a hard thing to do). I've been sober,... well... only a couple of hours so far. I messed up again this weekend. My last drink was at 11:45 last night. It's been almost a day. If you want to chat... e-mail me.

I've been 20 years trying to give up drinking, and I've always admired those that had more courage than myself to give up on alcohol. I've been clean and sober for 14 days now and i've never felt better in my life. Gone to 9 meetings in two weeks and met a lot of really supportive people that have helped me to find the path I was always so afraid to journey down. I'll be 50 in February and I've wasted a lot of time and energy, and money, searching the answers in a bottle. Tomarrow is day 15 and I know it's gonna be as tough as the other 14 but at least I'll be sober.

Hello,
As I get closer to my 20th AA birthday the more I realize how grateful I am to be sober, "one day at a time".
When I was going through my usual morning meditation (which seems to take longer the longer I stay sober)about half way through, God's presence made himself felt in my mine, body and soul. As this transformation was taking place, the thought hit me as it has many times before, I have to be willing to accept his grace for anything positive to happen. Which essentially means, the choice is mine to have a good day, read the "Big Book", stay sober, help others whenever I'm needed and go to meetings. This is just a thought, I wanted to pass on for someone who may need it.
Yours In Service,
Philip P.

In our nations time of suffering, it is outstanding to know that many of us are dealing with this tragedy with clear heads.We have to remember,(each one of Bill's friends)how we would have dealt with such turmoil in our past,and be there for our fellow men and women to council them and deter them from making the same mistakes that we have made.
We must stand together on every aspect of our lives now,we are going through extremely trying times,and they ARE! going to get worse.I do not want to sound like another alarmist,however this is a time of great sorrow and disbelief and most of us who have dealt with Alcoholism know that this is the time for a CRUTCH.
Let us all join hands and beat this together.....sober.

Hi there from California. Really enjoy all the experience,
strength and hope shared on these pages. Without the love
and support from all my fellow alkies I would not be
celebrating 10 months of sobriety. It's wonderful to know
that wherever you go A.A. is always there extending its hand
in fellowship. Keep up the good work and remember what we
can not do for ourselves our higher power (God) CAN!!!!

I just love this web page and all those who sign the wall. I have been sober since 1980 and also go to Alanon. I am grateful for every day without a drink or drug.
I am trying to start a music and sharing group of sober players (and singers) that have been in recovery for a while and perhaps don't play much and would just like to do casuals (and sober events)now and then. I did one in L.A. in 1983 and it worked well. This time I am looking at a full band with horns and percussion playing everything from Santana to Hendrix to Bad Company to Country to Old Motown.

Today is my 75th day of being sober. I am so grateful. I just left a noon-time step meeting. We read step one. I have read the book cover-to-cover twice. I attend two step meetings a week. I really enjoy listening to the different views people have about how they feel about the steps and the advice they offer. Today I wanted to share, but was unable as the meeting was coming to a close before it circled back to me. I did not feel that my sobriety was threatend so I chose to let the meeting end. However; I do not feel the need to drink. I do need to talk with someone. I just want to say thank you-- for this chance to say THANK YOU to everyone.

Hello Everyone
I'm Lou and I'm a greatefull alcoholic. I found this program in '96. But I had to do more research. Went out on and off until I did an 18 month intensive study which took away the rest of my life as I knew it. No more house, no more wife, no more kids...painfull. Still I struggled and was stuburn about letting God into my life. I was dead spiritualy. I recently came back and was reintroduced to the program with open arms. Nobody judged or even fround. The Fellowship is helping me accept God back into my life. He was always there, I just wasn't listening. My outlook on life is improving now and I know this is only possible because God is rescuing me yet again. I see it now. I know now I will be fine only if I follow the simple steps this program is suggesting. I thank God and the fellowship for helping me rebuilt my life on His terms. I have no choice... it's that or die. Please write, I'd love to read your story.

90 Days today. Wow. Time flew by so fast until the day I stopped drinking and using. Maybe the positive spin is that I have not only been given a second chance at life but that the gift of time has been given back to me. The sky never looked so blue before. Nor were there days when it has looked so black. The old-timers say it gets better. All my plants are dead, is that a sign? I design web pages for a living yet not until today have I researched the program online. Go figure. I am glad I landed here first, great idea, this site. It's like a meeting on a wall. It has helped and I will visit often. Plus it's really close to home...

Howdy, y'all--I'm baaack!!!! To Anonymous in PA--look up AA in your local phone book and give them a call. I can't tell where you're really from, but if you are in a larger city a sober alcoholic may well answer the phone, although if your city isn't as large and is served by an answering service someone WILL call you back if you leave a message!!!! They'll listen to you and will tell you where an AA meeting is in your area and someone could even come pick you up if you need it. We really are there to help b/c there is hope and strength when we help each other. It really does work, and you can stop drinking even young. I was 18 when I got sober and I just celebrated my 19th sober birthday a week and a half ago (man, have I really been sober more than half my life...?). Asking for help is one of the most important steps you can take, so believe it or not, you're on the way.
To the rest of y'all, I JUST got back to Nashville after 3 years in southwest VA, so I'm sure I'll see some of you in a meeting real soon! If anyone from the Communications group or from some of the other groups in the West End area who sees this who recognizes my name, drop me an e-mail! I live off Old Hickory Blvd now so I probably won't be going to that many of my old meetings, but I'd love to hear from you!

Because of that I have been able to face all these trails head on and not in a bottle. To quote a friend of mine, I thank AA for God and God for AA and I thank all you for being here!

My name is Kurt Knewitz and I am a very gratefull recovered alcoholic. I am also a very passionate and enthusiastic member of AA. I have something that needs to be heard, because for the first time in over 60 years our membership is declining. The Dallas and Houston area intergroup tell us based on the chip sales that less than 20% of those who come to AA stay sober 90 days. And more importantly, less than 5% make it one year. So we as a fellowship need to ask ourselves but one simple question: What is it that has changed? Back when the program was introduced there was 91-92% success of all those who came to AA and tried. Has the disease changed? Has the solution changed? Of course not, God never changes and it's only as a direct result of working the twelve steps do we find that spiritual experience that we desperately need to recover from the most fatal disease ever known by mankind. So what is it that has changed? Could it be perha
