I am not a "white Knuckler" I truly do not have a craving for alcohol...and
I am a "REAL" alcoholic. Also im not grumbling at all ..im gratefull that I am an alcoholic, otherwise I would not been shown the way to AA.
IMHO it has something for everyone on this planet.
I wont quote anything to you doc. I can only speak
from my experience...and I dont pass around hearsay ..everyone has their own interpretations,
i dont care for third ..forth...etc. interpretations ...I cannot speak for anyone but myself... It is odd you make remarks that i do not look for the good. One of the codes I live by is "Always Look for the good in everything...because you always find what you are looking for." I wasn't raised in the conventional way most children are..I was forunate not to have any of man's social views impressed upon me...Fortunate I am to have been taught to have an open mind and think for myself ...and never fear to question anyone or anything.
methinks you will do well by following your own advice doc.thank you for posting .KayLen points out: the many are led by the few because there are alot more lambs in this world than there are sheperds.
OPINIONS: they are like A--holes everybody has one.**smile**
