All Praises to God, my sponsor and AA as a whole, without you all I would still be out there living in darkness. The light is starting to shine through and brighten my daze (days).

A big "Thank You" to all the supporters of the New Years Eve Dance. The last several years have been a blast and it just keeps on getting better! What a wonderful blessing to celebrate the New Year sober and to share the occasion with the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is your dance and my hope is to play music that you want to hear. If you have any requests, please feel free to email me. I look forward to seeing you there!

I have found true friends that love me unconditionally and are there whenever I need them. Alcoholics Anonymous has truely become my family. Today, I thanked my higher power, which I've found in the program, that I never have to be alone again!

I have been around the program now for almost 4 yrs. Not till this past October did finally come to say I had problems. My fiancee has been in and out of the program for 14 yrs. He was sober for 12yrs and decided to drink again Jan of 2001 after our daugther was born. From there our lives bacame unmanageable. After about a 9 month period of this we seperated. A lot of things happened that we cant change, but beacause of our friends in A.A. we are now back together and working the program together and our life couldnt be better. We have been back together for a little over a month and we couldn't ask for a better gift from God. We have our family back and best of all we have each other back. Thanks for all the wisdom A.A has given us.

It started out with just two men, and look what's happened! i've only been in the program for 6 months, but i feel like i've been reincarnated while living on earth. my life has changed so much, not only people, places, and things, but my belief in my Higher Power and my daily outlook on life. it is so much better than not knowing what,where, and how i was going to make ends meet. not only has the program saved my life, but the lives around me also. it is such a blessing to wake up every morning and smell the air, fresh, clean, and sober!!!!!! thank you "bill w" and all the rest of the family out there. also a big "HI" to all my friends in tennesse.

Hoy tengo ya seis años sin beber. Lo comence a hacer desde los 18 y no bebi tanto al cohol ni durante mucho tiempo. En ese tiepo fui a vivir a Ensenada Baja California. Dejando en México a Mi familia y en ese entonces a mi novia. A quienes les escribia frecuentemente. A mi regreso mi novia ya no quiso estar conmigo y que frustración. A beber despues de un tiempo ingrese a A.A. quiza entre en la atmosfera espiritual y me embriague a partir de entonces no he bebido. El día de hoy me interesa que en mi vida se hagan realidad las promesas del programa. Por lo que siento una vez más necesito ayuda de ustedes los alcoholicos Anonimos

I had a friend named Larry Wallach. He died in a motorcycle crash in AZ. He was my best friend. He died 9/27/02 he would of had 8 yr sober on 9/30\02. I am missing him a lot and he will always be in my heart and mind. He died with a smile on his face, because he was at peace with himself and with the creator. He made his goal in life - he had died SOBER and with love in his heart.
I ask for prayers for his girlfriend Karen and their family. When I die thats the way I want to Go.
- Going down the highway on my Harley, Happy, full of love for myself and others and last but not least SOBER!
I dedicate this signing of the wall to Larry Wallach. 1957 - 2002.
His spirit is free.
He rides forever,
in the whispers of the wind,
his hair untamed,
his heart soaring,
we feel his embrace,
and remember his love.
Forever in our hearts,
our son,our brother,our cousin,our friend.
Larry - See you in my Italian Dreams
We Love you. See ya in that highway in the sky.

If anyone knew Larry I would love to hear from you.

I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful things that they wrote on the wall. On 9/8/01 I choose to pick-up the drink after almost 5 years of being sober. I came back on 9/11/01. I could not have that awfell day as my sober date so I picked up again. I came back on 11/22/01 Thanksgiving day. Will Have 1 year very soon. Just remember it doesn't get any better out there. So I ask everyone to do what ever have to do to get back where you belong B/4 you pick up. I almost died of a over dose of booze and drugs. My H.P. saved me and so did everyone in A.A. again. If you do pick up it is ok to come back. Remember we are there for all who have a desire to stay sober. So keep coming back. If anyone needs to talk about relaps you can talk to me.

I am truly grateful for my not taking a drink today. If you are new in recovery, Remeber these five things. GO TO MEETINGS, GET AND CALL A SPONSOR, READ THE BIG BOOK, PRAY IN THE MORNING(ASK GOD TO KEEP YOU SOBER THAT DAY), AND THANK GOD AT NIGHT(FOR KEEPING YOU SOBER THAT DAY). If you do these things your life will get better. Feeling misrable is a bad way to be. My life is a blessing today. I pray that you will feel the same way that I do.

Dear Fellow members, It has not been long ago when I relapsed. I was at a desperate place in life. I called our local central office and begged to speak to a fellow aa. The person on the other end had been my sponsor and knew or so I thought that I was at the end of my rope. She said she was going to a business meeting but assured she would have someone call. No call ever came. The thing left was God Help. It was not long after this I went to a meeting and was sharing. About a week later I was at the same meeting when I was asked to step outside by a police officer. 5 cars in the parking lot(police) They advised me that I had to leave do to something I had shared in an aa meeting. I am not sure I really want to belong to something like this. I had stayed sober for over 6 yrs at one time and enjoyed it. After that relapse I lost alot. Now few in my home group speak to me and the fellowship is only a dream to me.

I go to meetings at least 3 times a week and I have a sponser and I am really not sure why I feel so badly. I try to call my sponser everyday, but for some reason I am not grasping something.

Hello everyone. My name is Michele and I'm greatfull to be in this program today. Although I have about six weeks sobrity, it feels great. Through this program I am learning to be honest with myself and everyone around me. i am finding out thru being honest with myself my realationships are getting tougher to handle. Please allow me to explain.
All my life I have been looking for a relationship with my mother that was never there. I stayed up many of nights crying becouse she ether could or would not understand me. At the age of Two I was adopted. I have always told my adopted mom that I loved her. I tell her that I know that she was a special person becouse only special people take rejects like me. I realize now that I was proberly trying to win her love by saying this allthough I really did mean it. Now after being a dry drunk for over two years I have become to relize that I know longer want to live the way of life that I have been living. Even though I have been able to hide my drinking from most everyone, I mom does not understand why it is so important for me to hit meetings as much as much as I do. Some days I hit one meating, other days I need to hit two. I am learning how to tell when I need to hit an extra meeting. Maybe she doesn'tunderstand, and more than likly she never will, but I'm ok with it. I know that I need to go to meetings to stay sober and if ti wasn't for my true friends in the A.A. program I'm not sure were I would be at today. I am going to close now and go to a meeting. God bless you all.

Are there any 31-35 year old men in Nashville Tn that are also trying to "get sober" with whom I can talk to? I've been thru rehap within the last three years, I am 33, recently married but my drinking has gotten chronically progressive and I am huring my wife in the process. I don't want to lose everything and I now see the hurt in her eyes. We went to our first AA meeting last night together. I would like to find support within my age group. Help!

I started trying to become sober and clean about two years ago. I stayed clean long enough to get my three month token. I have since went back out and came back again. I want to think that I am being true to the program this time. I am going to three meetings a week and I have a sponser. Where as before I did none of the above. I have been thru out patient treatment before. I believe that it did not work becouse I did not want it to work. I would appriciate all the encouraging letters that I can get.
