Lot of truth in that post, Dave! AA is simple: all you need to do is not use one day at a time........................and change everything about your life, including reality!
More than not drinking, my experience has been of learning how to be an adult human.

At every meeting this way of being gets modeled and assimilated. I thought I was pretty smart: I could rebuild complicated electronic BMW transmissions and run a successful business, but when I first heard HALT (Hungry Angry Lonely Tired-you need to handle these when the come up), I wanted to write it on my palm lest I forget it before I got home to write it down. Not too long after I had an epiphany! Why was this new information to this sophisticated 36 year old? Because I never, for whatever reasons, assimilated the basic information a seven year old should have! I was a child masquerading as an adult. There was much to learn. Reality! What a concept!
