The Forgotten Children???

[caressa]

Who are the forgotten children of AA?

- Those that came and went back out never to return?

- Those that came a long time ago and stayed and have forgotten where they came from?

- Those still in denial, but not wanting to go back to where they came from?

- Those that have a problem grasping for the knowledge of a Higher Power?

- Those who compare instead of identifying the feelings behind the acitons?

Please keep coming, don't leave until the miracle happens. The power is in the rooms. If you stay, it will raise you above anything you have ever experienced before. If you go back out, it will take you lower than you ever dreamed possible.

Great definitions!

Also, when some old-timers say "he/she is hopeless and will *never* make the program. I heard that during the 13 years I was in and out of AA until I walked into a tavern on that Thanksgiving Day. I said "I'm an alcoholic and shouldn't be drinking". The bartender said "so am I' and a patron at the end of the bar said "I just got out of a 'dry-out joint'".......and I asked the most important question of my life - "Then Why Are We Drinking?". That was the spark that led to my "moment of truth"!

That was November 25th, 1976 (28 years ago)

No One Is Hopeless!!!!
