I am a 3 time cancer survivor, and after what I went through to get rid of, and recover from, these diseases, is a drop in the bucket compared to recovering from alcoholism ... I have a ton of things to be grateful for ... and if you've avoided these medical problems you have a long gratitude list also ...

I did some stupid shit under the influence, but what I did when I was sober to get the money needed to get loaded is pathetically embarrassing and I am sure it will take an entire lifetime to pay for it. Not just talking material either. The hearts of children I kicked out of the way, the degenerate reputation I built...all happened while sober.
Be grateful the program tackles more than just a drinking problem.
Start simple.
Have you taken drink today? No? Be grateful.
Have you eaten. Have you got sheets on your bed.....sod it listen to paulo nutini pencil full of lead.....that'll give you a good start.
