V is for Vanity. This was one of my biggest defects of character. I was always fearful of what other people thought of me. Afraid to put the wrong foot forward, say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and always wanted to make sure the outside looked good and neglected the inside.

W is for: Willing & Waiting

“We must be Willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is Waiting for us.” - - Joseph Campbell

X s for Xenon. It is a chemical gas and reminds me that I don't metabolize alcohol as normal people do. This gas is used as general anaesthetic. For many years I used alcohol as an anaesthetic to numb my feelings and hide from the world.

In 1939 Albert R. Behnke Jr. began exploring the causes of "drunkenness" in deep-sea divers.

Y is for YES...say YES to service at your group! You'll be amazed how much it helped me grow in my own recovery.

Z is for: Zeal

True Zeal is a strong, steady, uniform, benevolent affection;
but false Zeal is a strong, desultory, boisterous, selfish passion. - - Emmons
