Make sure to like us on facebook 🙂 We’d love to have ya stop in and see us! www.facebook.com This is Dr. Paul. He is the author of “Acceptance is the Answer” in the Big Book. (Formerly known as “Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict”) From Silkworth.net: “The physician wasn’t hooked, he thought – he just prescribed drugs medically indicated for his many ailments. Acceptance was his key to liberation.” Paul’s story is one of the most frequently quoted in the 3rd edition because it talks so much about acceptance (pages 449-450, page 417 in 4th Edition). His original date of sobriety was December 1966, but he slipped until July 1967. He didn’t think he was an alcoholic, he just had problems. ‘If you had my problems you’d drink too.” His major problem was his wife. “If you had my wife you’d drink, too.’ He and his wife, Max, had been married twenty-eight years when he entered AA He said she was a natural Al-Anon long before they heard of either AA or Al-Anon. His story in the Big Book, and tapes of his talks, show that Paul had a great sense of humor, and was a very humble man.” Thank you Paul O. www.aa.org – Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site Stop by Amazon to get AWESOME recovery books www.amazon.com
