Karen. I'm glad you posted Steel on Steel. I think it is fabulous. I call it TURBO-AA! :) I introduced my sponsor to Steel on Steel a couple of years ago and...
Some of us had been discussing 12 stepping over the weekend. This reading addresses some vital points the authors make on 18:2. "But the ex-problem drinker who...
Thanks, Karen. That steel on steel thing sounds fabulous. I will print it all out and save it for future. I do n't think I can get anyone to do it here...
It is too bad we didn't live closer. I took a look at the file, and also have saved it to my computer. I will scan the people I know to see if I can find 3...
"Having had a Spiritual awakening as the result of these steps...(page 60)" So, the result of the steps (1-11) is opening my eyes to the presence of the Spirit...
There is a Solution - what a great title! To follow up on some earlier posts, in my opinion, - on pages 18 and 19 are the best description of a "sponsor" But...
... the next 25 or so pages are steps 3-11. Then the next 75 pages are step 12. So do you think Bill meant for us to spend years writing inventory and never...
"The feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us? ONE element? This must mean this is not the ONLY element...
The Lord is my Sponsor I shall not want. He maketh me to go to meetings. He leadeth me to sit back, relax, and listen with an open mind. He restoreth my soul,...
Welcome back everyone! We're at Page 30 - Chapter 3, " More (Truth) About Alcoholism ". This is where we will discuss--in depth--the state of mind that...
When I was in my 20's, I always thought "If I'm still doing this when I'm 30, then I'll just stop. When I was 30, it became 35, at 35, 40. I never REALLY...
Even while drinking, I had plenty of sound reasoning in other areas of my life. I was running a brokerage business on Wall Street, managed millions of other...
BB pg. #31 states:"switching from Scotch to Brandy." I have to smile and laugh when I read this part of the BB. There was a point in my life that I ran a large...
"The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed (page 30)." My name is Grant and I am a Recovered Alcoholic. I have been...
A couple of years ago my wife made a cheesecake and used vanilla extract. She knew better, but she doesn't get it. She thought it was harmless I was eating...
Now that I think of it, ANYONE who can drop an amount of vanilla extract into their eyes and not experience a craving for more alcohol is probably not an...
Sounds painful. No thanks. Years ago, perhaps 10, I attended a fund raiser at which Mexican food was being served. At that time, I was not a big meat eater,...
I have learned to be careful too. I was at a barbecue recently. I enjoyed a large piece of delicous peach pie. Later on I learned there was a generous...

This section of the big book is, in my opinion, one of the most important in the entire volume. Every time I study it, it seems I am able to extract a little...
Choices? It's at this part of the book that we see what our choices are. On page 24 the following is in italics: "The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons...
Those same two choices, worded differently but stating the same facts, are discussed at the bottom of Page 25... "If you are as seriously alcoholic as we were,...
