“The tremendous fact for every one of us is that we have discovered a common solution. We have a way out on which we can absolutely agree, and upon which we can join in brotherly and harmonious action.” (The Big Book, p. 17)
“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.”- Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970) British philosopher / mathematician

Brain judges, brain thinks,brain wonders….I do what is in front of me….ahhhhhh
Not a lot. Just not drinking and still going to meetings. Waiting for the holidays to be over and get my life back in to a regular rhythm so I don’t feel so anxious.
