A New Life
Regardless of worldly success or failure, regardless of pain or joy,
regardless of sickness or health or even of death itself,
a new life of endless possibilities can be lived if we are willing to continue our awakening,
through the practice of AA's Twelve Steps.
- As Bill Sees It,p. 8

Thought to Ponder . . .
Life didn't end when I got sober -- it started.

Hi AA Family, I'm Peyton, and I'm a grateful alcoholic.  I had given up on life when I began to drink alcoholically.  The more I drank, the less involved in life I was.  I became a solitary at-home drinker.  I was not a good mother, not a good wife, sister, friend, etc.  My life revolved around my next drink, always.  You all showed me there is a life after drinking, and even after drinking again.  Today, my life is full.  I have interests that have nothing to do with bottles ... well, except when I'm making jams and chutneys.  I have, and I am, a friend, a good wife, and someone who others can depend upon.  I have all these things and even more that I never had when I was drinking.  There is indeed a life after drinking, and with God, the Steps and all of you, I have a lot more life than I've ever had, and I'm truly grateful.
