Thanks, Jocelyn! But I recall reading elsewhere (right now, brain can't remember where) how the Grapevine came to be, etc. Just have to keep rummaging through...

Tanya, find out what you want, and then go for it, this should be all about you and your plans, what are your plans? Possibly you will be going to jail, jail ...

Tanya, You've already gotten some good answers to your question. Also you said it yourself, you can not control your husband. Right now focus on your recovery ...
Liz, I think you may know of Peter M. I heard him say once, that when he first come to AA, he asked his new sponsor how long should it be before he start doing...
I agree with Peter M (He's from New York, right?). You stop puking, you start writing. Barefoot Bill says: "Well, when do you want to get better? If you want...

Well, that was simple, huh? I always ask Him to be with us and help us learn together. I think that He would give them the information, even if it weren't...
I'd have to agree with your sponsor, Tammy. I don't think that her being a lesbian has any relevance to her condition as an alcoholic. Gender, race, creed,...
I amay be out of line for asking this but...an online discussion with someone who is actually debating with you....is that an outside issue?? Do we have to...
