U is for Universal. We can go to any meeting in the world, and we can identify and share. We have a universal message, don't drink, go to meetings, get a home group, get a sponsor and work the Steps of recovery. Hugs not drugs,  |

V is for Vim and Vigor. That is how I started out from the get go, for me to use is to die. I chose life. I was afraid if I missed a meeting, I would relapse. I went to two meetings a day for 2 years, and some days I hit a third meeting if I could get a ride.  |

 W is for When. Many people say, "When should I start working the Steps." I say as soon as your head is clear and you can take an honest look at the Steps. Others ask, "When should I get a sponsor?" or "When should I get a home group?" My thought is, "As soon as possible, go to 90 meetings in 90 days and find someone who is walking their talk and have worked the Steps in her/his life and find a place that seems safe to you and where you feel comfortable. |

X is for Xenophobia. The fear of strangers and aliens. Best I don't look in the mirror. Did you ever look into a window and wonder who the person was behind you? It couldn't possibly be you. I found out I was getting old.  |

Y is for Yellow. Yellow is a sign of caution. Don't get complacent. Remember we are only an arm's length away from our next drink. We need to have a good spiritual defense from that next thought of having a drink or a drug.  |

Z is for Zest. Have a zest for living. We are given a second chance at life. Enjoy it.  |
