There is hope and a solution for any of your drug addictions no matter what they are. The big book of A.A. has one purpose. To show others how We have recovered. Share the big book and this one.
Some addicts are too ill to know they are killing themselves. Take someone to a meeting or start your own group. The latest research proves young people are getting liver cancer at higher rates than ever before. This book is about the basics.
What is important is that you live. Or someone you care about does.
Al Anon is for family members who live with active drunkards.
The difference between a drunkard and an alcoholic is vast. Personalities may be similar according to research but working tge steps and going to meetings could not hurt unless peoole there are meqn to you or curse G-d for many drunks go to churches of all religions. The program is to help others recovery who are still suffering. Narcotics Anonymous branched off from A.A. and these groups are all over the World. Alcohol causes cancer. I know from my medical training, family and friend's deaths.
From this American started program millions have achieved sobriety. AA teaches about a loving G-d.
This book will help anyone who reads it. A A is free.
A A helps people with psychological problems sometimes better than medication.
A.A. is not a religious program. It was started by men and women with a common problem of addiction to one depressive drug that has cost more lives than most. The manufacturing of spirits it is sometimes called is all about makubg money and spending yours. You will find a god of your own understanding with this the first program that has spread into Overeaters Anonymous and narcotics anonymous. The purpose of this writing is to help save at least one life. Take what you need and leave the rest. Many people all over the World deny they have a problem with alcohol (a depressant socially acceptable drug).
The Big Book says we have been mentally ill. Who in their right mind tries to destroy their body with drugs that will harm them?
Yet, in this reading it is said, "We who have recovered." Sanity is soundness of mind. That is just one of the benefits of programs such as these. Everyone I know has someone in their family who has an addiction problem including myself. There is no shame in this. This program stresses a loving God. And that you are His child.
Inside Alcoholics Anonymous is my book.
In it you will learn about A.A. and how it works.
If you know someone who has an addiction or a drinking problem, send them this book, or just offer it to them.
Take them to a meeting as it may save their life. (Or yours).
Only you can decide if you have a problem with alcohol. Only you know what your addictions are or maybe you are too ill to know.
Living sober is a great way of life.
There are degrees of sobriety.
What sobriety is may not the same thing to many, but please try to keep an open mind because too many humans are dying from addictions.
We do care about at least some of them,don't we? I have and do. This is the revised version.
