Alcoholics Anonymous Help

Personal Message

July 5, 2002, was my eighteenth birthday in AA. There is no trade I would make for those years of being sober and dry. I would love to be physically, that age again; well, maybe a little older, with the wisdom I have now. As it is, I just take it one day at a time and let go and let God. And, I love it that way.

     I would not be keeping my word to my HP (my name for God, who is my Higher Power,) if I did not take advantage of this opportunity to witness to others that Alcoholics can be saved. I was a practicing alcoholic for about 15 years. I am sober, dry, and have been recovering for 16 years, longer than as I was a problem drinker. I attend AA meetings on the Web. During my "sobering up" time, I promised HP that I would do all possible to help others who might still be suffering. And, believe me, you do suffer. I will be putting messages on this page so those of you who might want to can find out more.

     These are a few of the links for AA which I found on the web for help if you think you, or someone you love, might have a drinking problem. I will be glad to answer email regarding this and will share some of my stories here. As for today, I'm calling it a HALT. This is an Alcohoics Anonymouse saying which means: Never get to Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired without calling a halt or it could lead to trouble.

Where?

I don't know where I'm going.
But, I do know where I've been.
And, with God's help,
I won't go back again.
(c) Patricia D. Vance, 1988



My Version of the Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage and ability to change the things I can,
And, above all, Lord, please, grant me the wisdom to know the difference.


The picture of these hands in my mind and continutally saying this prayer brought me through the long hard time of beginning recovery. I said it every minute for a while and still today, it is always with me.
