A NEW & BETTER LIFE

“Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.”

• Josh Billings (1818-1885)

This sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in. Once you've got out of your alcoholic fog, you find that the world looks good. You find real friends in A.A. You get a job. You feel good in the morning. You eat a good breakfast and you do a good day's work at home or outside. And your family loves you and welcomes you because you're sober. Am I convinced that this sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in?


I didn't know what to expect when I got sober but I was sure that life would get better. And it did. Where there was once loneliness there is no family, love and laughter. Life is by no means perfect but it is immeasurably better than the solitary life this alcoholic once chose for himself.
