My friend's son has "swallowed the entire Big book." He knew all the steps. I learned that drugs are, more cunning, more baffling more powerful. I could only sit and listen.
I'm glad to hear he ate the book up Gonee...Now he just has to take the ACTION it suggests.... Simple as that.
As far as your....Drugs are more cunning, baffling and powerful than alcohol statement goes....I don't know about that. Having been a child of the 60's...Born in '59...I was always in the company of some kind of drug growing up....But nothing...And I mean nothing....Snuck up on me....Seduced me....And literally kicked my ass into the gutter like alcohol did. As Bill W. so eloquently put it in Bill's Story....
No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity. Quicksand stretched around me in all directions. I had met my match. I had been overwhelmed. Alcohol was my master.
Born in '52, ... I went through much the same as Stepdude, ... and he described my feelings about this perfectly ... and followed with a very apt quote ...
Thanks Stepdude ... great reply ...
