As I work the steps with sponsees and sponsors, I see more clearly that we addicts and alcoholics have these thinking patterns in common, and these common thinking patterns aren’t really great and also tend to drive us to drink and use.
I can identify - I had a thinking problem, and drinking quieted it a bit, until it almost killed me. And I highly recommend the 12&12, it’s such a compliment to the Big Book, until I made weekly Step meetings and the 12&12 part of my recovery I didn’t quite get it!
Always love a Luther reference!
I was President of the Luther League! How about that!
Love your posts!

I love the part where you say it helped quiet your thinking “until it almost killed me!”
