Folks, As I read this list I'm filled with gratitude. That you for being real! Bruce, great minds think alike. I appreciate what you wrote aboutfeelings and emotions. For years, if I had any sort of emotion I drank

it away. If I was happy, I drank. If I was sad, I drank. I didn't want tofeel. I knew I was so sick...and I joined AA. I remember when I wasfirst sober. At meeting I'd say, " I think I feel... " , and someone would

say, " STOP! Don't think about it...just feel it! " For the first time in AGES, I began to feel emotions again...I began to live again...life onlife's terms, not mine...what a concept! So claim those feelings and

emotions, folks...if you can claim it you can own it, and if you can own it you can walk through it. My two cents.brud+-- God is good; everything else is a lesson.
