"There are as many reasons as there are people. We have to stop drinking, period."
You're right on both counts. Glad to know that things are going well for you in Canada. It's a comfort to remember that there are people in recovery all over the world. There are millions of us, actually. How's that for outstanding news!
It IS very comforting. You don't get a pass at AA for anything you have done. I am known as the "crying one". LOL You chew it over until it oozes out your pores. And then you chew it over some more. We know what we have done and try and make amends and then find a way to live with it. In something resembling peace.
Thanks for your reply. It meant a lot.
