With The Big Book As His GPS

It took me all of seventeen years to earn my first trip to rehab. This would also lead me to my introduction to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. As I sit here and write this at the age of thirty-one, I’d love to tell you that I have been fourteen years sober and that I’d had a spiritual awakening back then. However it’s quite the contrary. As I write this sitting in my third rehab, I just surpassed fourteen months. If you do the math you’ll conclude it has taken me 13 years to acquiesce to the program of AA and its Twelve Steps.
