PO Box 1980

I agree with W. H.'s view that "just for today" is more helpful to sobriety than "90 meetings in 90 days." Although I have heard people who were helped by the 90-day concept, I've also seen those who made a start in AA, then were heard counting off their "90 & 90" like prisoners X-ing off days on the wall. When they reached the 90, they vanished. Some who did stick around later said they had been under the impression they would be "cured" after 90 days. I think it can set up a false goal--racking up days and meetings instead of learning about alcoholism and sobriety. What helped me the most, in the way of sayings, were "Bring the body to and the mind will follow," and "If you don't drink today, you'll never drink, because it's always today." But as to W. H.'s suggestion about playing down the "90 and 90" saying, I don't believe there is any way to stop any particular phrase from going around in AA, and it does seem to be helpful to some. I think we'll all hear what we need if each of us helps each other as we each sincerely think best.
