TEFTONG

Thanks very much for your kind words and your support. I am the baby in AA terms here. Just got 3 Years of Sobriety 12th August. My mate Davie is celebrating 9 Years tomorrow and he has been a tremendous help to me.

Hence the reason that meeting up with my Man City mates in the LOUDEN TAVERN has to take 2nd place in my priorities. Man City/Rangers won't keep me SOBER but going to hear a guy I respect will..

I was lucky that the guy who 12 Stepped me who was also a big celtic fan took his time and taught me so much..wee quips and quotes that made sense to me..like.."Are you Open Minded..??..Yes i reply..I think so..Well says Terry your mind is like a parachute..If you don't Open it..Your fucked.."

He also told me one night that.."Us alcoholics are just like Pigs..!!??...Oh right I reply..Because we are Greedy..??..No he explained.."Just like Pigs..We WON'T BE CURED UNTIL WE ARE DEAD"..

I am Grateful to help out at my local meeting every Monday night. STEPPS ODAAT Group and the extra responsibility and the benefits have enhanced my Sobriety. I came to AA just over 3 Years ago..Broken..Unemployable and a Life that was outrageously unmanageable..Thank God for AA and the Fellowship I have found my Life has changed and turned around..

I wish you well on your continued journey in Sobriety..KOKO.ODAAT. TC&GB..
