It's even more amazing than I remember. Your advice, your sharing of experience is undeniably rich with first hand knowledge of the subjects you speak about. I've worked with many persons addicted to substances in the past (MA Rehab Counseling) and I am sure you are doing many people profound good by sharing your expertise here with everyone. THANKS! Hi Patrick,

You can find mine in text and audio on the front page of my website www.dickb.com. By now you know that yours is a "happening" site; and it has produced many visits to my A.A. history sites. I have found, as part of my 23 years of continuous sobriety, that helping a newcomer will achieve success well if it starts with "Tell me your story." Out here in Hawaii, it might sometimes be "Let's talk story." Either way, the fresh newcomer with his bag of troubles, shame, guilt, fear, and the other products of his self-destructive behavior, is surprisingly eager to tell his story if you share yours. It's the thing that brought Bob and Bill together and resulted in the founding of A.A. And it's the thing that enabled them to relate to Bill D., AA Number Three, who was almost instantly cured by asking God for help. And this marked the founding of A.A. Group Number One in Akron.
