My name is Sally, and I am an alcoholic. When I attended my first A.A. meeting, I had many
years of alcoholic drinking and several years of prescribed tranquilizers under my belt. At the first
meeting I was deeply struck by the honestly, the variety of personalities and the individual gratitude
to the A.A. program. By the end of the meeting it was clear to me that “it can be done,” and I
hopefully began my recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.
I attended this A.A. meeting on the advice of my psychiatrist. My mental and emotional
anguish was quite severe and the doctor had I prescribed a tranquilizer which I was taking according
to the prescription. I never did adjust the dosage on my own.
One day at a time, I did not pick up the first drink. Just as other A.As had shared with me, life
did begin to take on more meaning and I was so deeply grateful that my alcoholic drinking was
behind me. I continued taking my prescribed dosage of a tranquilizer, despite the fact that I heard
many A.A. members share their own terrible experiences with tranquilizers, invariably discovering
that such medication led to a “slip.”
Six months into sobriety, I had a terrible day at the office and felt severely rejected in every
possible way. Overwhelmed by self-pity and anxiety, I tried every conceivable means to get rid of my
resentments. But I was unable to grasp any insight I had gained from therapy, nor did anything I ever
heard at an A.A. meeting penetrate. At the end of the day, I found myself in the restaurant where I
had done much of my drinking and ended up having several martinis.
The fact that I drank again was a stunning blow to me. I did not really want to drink, but I did
want to relax. The next evening, at a meeting of my home group, I looked around the room and it
occurred to me that everyone there was living the A.A. program in an honest fashion—everyone
except me. For the first time in my life I truly opened my mind and decided to follow suggestions. I
promised myself that I would speak with my psychiatrist about discontinuing the tranquilizers, as I
was convinced that somehow this medication had something to do with my relapse.
My psychiatrist was willing to cancel the prescription. During the weeks and months
immediately following, I came to see that I had been relying on tranquilizers to give me the bulwark
against anxiety that most of my fellow AAs were finding the Twelve Steps. It was apparent to me that
although I had been attending many A.A. meetings, reading the literature, and attempting to integrate
the A.A. way of life in myself, my own use of tranquilizers had prevented a real surrender. Actually, I
had been quite remote and isolated, attempting to control my feelings just the way I had once tried to
control my drinking. Discontinuing the use of the tranquilizer was crucial in recovering from the
disease of alcoholism. Through the A.A. program, I have learned to live comfortably without mood-
altering medication of any kind. Although it has not always been easy to be honest with myself, to
reach out to a Higher Power, and to surrender my self-centered will, I feel I am living proof that it is
The AA member-Medications & Other Drug – permission World ServicesBEING THERE
I have heard people in Alcoholics Anonymous say, “I don’t know if I was born an alcoholic,
but I know that when I started drinking, an alcoholic was born in me.” That’s how it was with me. Iremember being given a glass of wine when I was six or seven years old. It made me smile somuch that my cheeks hurt. I spent the next quarter of a century trying to feel that good again. Myalcoholism became my primary occupation, and I used my ability to play guitar and memorize folkand county songs to stay intoxicated for days and weeks at a time. Let me sum up the bottom Ireached as briefly as possible: I puked on people, places and things from border to border andcoast to coast. I once passed out in my own vomit on the steps of the post office. I tried A.A. in1972, but gave up on recovery after I two or three meetings. My daughter, Melody, was born inFebruary 1976. One year later I tried to control my alcoholism by using bootlegged antabuse that Igot from an acquaintance. For the next two years, I stopped drinking during various dry spells, butI abused other drugs daily. On July 11, 1979, 1 had what I pray to God was my last drink.
Since I have mentioned God, let me say that I spent most of my life as an atheist. In 1974, I
stopped my heart with an accidental overdose of a drug, and as a result of the grace of God andCPR, I survived. I like to say that when I took that overdose, the brain cells that got destroyed werethe ones that told me I was an atheist. But my discovery of the existence of a loving God whogranted me life did not help me quit drinking. The Twelve Steps and the Fellowship of A.A. taughtme how to use God to change my life.
Since I have become involved in the Fellowship, I have experienced a miraculous change in
the way I live and the way I think. At the very first meeting I attended in 1979, I heard a woman say,“If anybody in this circle has young children, and you don’t want to wake up one day and realizeyour child is twenty-one years old and you missed his life, keep coming back.” Melody was threeyears old at the time.
Today she is twenty-two. I have seen her first day of school, watched her participate in Girl
Scouts, star in school plays, become a Bat Mitzvah, be confirmed in the faith of her ancestors,graduate from high school and fall in and out of love for the first time. I pray each day that I willcontinue to see her grow as a person. I have held my son, Caleb, in my arms for the first hours ofhis life, seen him catch his first fish, score his first birdie on a golf course, become a Bar Mitzvah,and grow taller than I am. I have learned to respect my wife Elaine, who is an amazing mother,partner, friend, companion and constant source of inspiration and affection.
I have also known the blessings of sponsorship, and I ask God each day to help me honor
the memory of my beloved sponsor, Joe M., who continues to mentor me long after he has crossedover, his example of manhood is the goal I strive to become, for he was the first man I knew whotried his best to live up to the principles of love, honestly, purity and unselfishness each day of hislife.
Prior to meeting him I thought manhood was achieved through physical strength and
emotional toughness. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share my guitar playing and folksinging in recovery. Over the years, I’ve sung songs about what life was like when I was a drinkingalcoholic and what it’s like now that I’m recovering. I have visited prisons, jails, halfway houses,schools, churches, and A.A. meetings all over Central Florida, where I live.
One of my most cherished memories comes from a time three or four years ago when I sang
at a halfway house. Afterward, a man in the group named Ben came up to shake hands. Caleb hadcome along with me that night, and when I introduced him to Ben, Ben said, “Your dad really helpedme to change my life.” I think about that moment often. My son could have grown up thinking abouthis dad as the missing, abusive, selfish brute who caused pain everywhere he went. Through thegrace of God and the Fellowship of A.A., my son knows his dad as a man who tries to help others. In the years since 1979, I have experienced so many blessings. The simple fact of my recovery isthat each day of my life I am moved to tears of gratitude by the miracle of one more precious day offreedom from the bondage of self.

There is the story of 2 old-timers who made a pact that when one of themdied, he would come back and let the other one know if there was AA inHeaven. Eventually one of them passed on. About a week later the other guy awoke from his sleep and saw the image ofhis old friend at the foot of the bed. All excited - he said, “Well, tell me! Is there AA in Heaven?”His friend said “I have good news and bad news. First the good news, YES!There is AA in Heaven.”“Well?” was the reply - “What’s the bad news?”His buddy said “Mmm, ah, you’re the speaker on Saturday night.”
