Generalizations Can Be Dangerous
AA is about alcohol and sobriety. Yet when prescribed or over-the-counter medications might lead directly to a drink; they become a serious issue for many AAs. What to do when the need to take, or refuse, medication arises? How to help others? On these pages, two members do all that any AA can do: share their own experiences with facing those questions and staying sober.
I HEARD SOME old-timers discussing Twelfth Step work. One said, "It's like pulling people out of a river and starting them back up on solid dry ground. Then you pull the next one out. Pretty soon you notice you're pulling some of the same ones out of the river again. Someone needs to look upstream to see what's pushing them back into the drink."
