"The road to spiritual and emotional recovery ... has taken diverse routes - lots of meetings, readings, talks with AA members, discussion groups, psychotherapy, and the beginning of sharing. The keys seemed to be listening and sharing - the spirit at work."
The road can take different paths, but the sooner I got on the paved section my life changed and I'm grateful for that. Prior to hitting the paved section there was many potholes, speedbumps and ditches. The key for me to the paved section was to get honest about my drinking. Become open to a design for living and the willingness to let go of my ways and accepted the help of others who travelled the road I was on. I now try to help others navigate that same road I travelled to get to the paved section. One alcoholic to another.
