I decided to go straight and dry out indefinitely. I always heard about Alcoholics Anonymous but I never needed it so I never tried it. That's why when I saw this literature at the community free shack which has books, canned goods, clothes, toys, and other miscellaneous items, I picked it up. I'm glad I did and it came at the right time. Great!

This book has information that might help someone that needs it to escape the demons of their own creation.
If you are offended or do not like the word god, simply omit it from the book from your mind and although it might be hard to do. It might be worth doing because what do you have to loose if you need this book then obviously you need information that might help you to turn your life around.
I want the best for you so find what it is that will help you in a healthy way toward your personal growth and recovery.
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

A useful introduction/overview to the 12 Steps for those who were damaged as children by addicts. It explains the necessity of the program as a healing and developmental tool for those who do not have active substance addictions, yet struggle as adults following childhood in a dysfunctional family.
