“When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this
marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.” ~ Jimmy Breslin
Stopping the habit of drinking alcohol is the easy part,
staying stopped is the hard part.
With the help of a Higher Power and friends who
have been there and done that the transformation
of the physical, mental and spiritual being from problem
drinker to useful citizen can be accomplished,
one day at a time.
Don’t drink, go to meetings, and let that marvelous personality
shine through so that you may be of maximum service to self,
others and your Higher Power.
Happiness is rescuing your true personality form the wreckage of the past.
Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

SPECIAL EDITION
Say happy birthday to the Ole Curmudgeon
No. 82, 1/31/1944
Poem:
do I need an hour to be happy ? ? ?
are we the animal social ? ? ?
small talk and being chatty
a habit, a routine, devotional
using a libation to open up
inhibitions and morals erased
deluded to drink from the loving cup
dreams and thoughts that are not chaste
and then comes the morning after
do I remember being happy
tears of regret drown out the laughter
the mind stretched like pulled taffy
introduced to a new way of living
choosing to be happy all of the time
turned from self centered to giving
from the grandiose to the sublime
every day filled with laughter
a sober life is all that matters
