My brothers and sisters it is from the overflowing fullness of gratitude in my heart, that I want to pray for each and every one of you here. I pray that it may go well with you and that God blesses you in every aspect of your life.
I have been tremendously blessed by every one of you here. Every little bit that you shared has blessed me in some way. My family has been the beneficiaries of your love for me.
I believe there is no greater love than one alcoholic for another. I have personally seen it and experienced it on this board. For that I am truly grateful, because when I am weak you are strong.
The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. ---William James
