Thoughts on what the program has done for you.

Without the 12 step program, I wouldn't be here, I would have died a long time ago. perhaps decades.??
Oh, one more, I have met some of the most wonderful people in my life at these meetings. So, not only did the program save my life, the people that I met, helped me to improve the quality of my life, and enjoy it.

Made me realize I was not a complete POS and gave me hope. The people there showed me kindness, patience, understanding and helped me when I could not help myself. It let me get to a place that I can help others - which I never dreamed possible.

"I get everything I need - and everything I need I get. And when I get what I need, I invariably find that it was just what I wanted all the time."

Saved my life, too.

Room here to list all that I have received through the program and the people I have met over the years...Like a lot of you I would be long dead had I continued the path I was on..The program and the people involved are all that stood between me and an early grave to say nothing of the years of suffering that would have happened had I remained in that life.... Not a day goes by that I do not recall some of the misery I endured and caused for others. I remember how it was and am thankful for the fact that it is no longer that way..

To each and every one of you here and at the tables day after day and night after night...I am thankful that I was allowed to enter this world and managed through your help to remain here...
