Immersion in AA Brings Sobriety and Maintains Sanity
Sanity is the miracle. The notion that we are not sane when it comes to alcohol and/or drugs is the explanation for why we cant stop based on bad consequences. The AA big book illustration of the jay walker covers this. As long as I have gone to meetings nearly daily and have placed AA as my top priority I have managed to be sane in respect to alcohol. When tempted I am able to understand the outcome and have the power to turn it down. Ive seen many seemingly devoted AA members drift away from the programs into what they consider normal life only to lose this sanity and try to have a drink as if they were not alcoholics. Fear and immersion in AA kept me sober at first. Since then it has been recovery and being restored to sanity AND (most importantly) staying immersed in AA. See the common thread? Immersion in AA through meetings, fellowship, service, and step work.
