Roger Ebert Reader on Addiction

FromThis is a 3800+ word article on Roger Ebert’s writings about alcohol, addiction, and recovery.  It is an interesting and insightful read at http://www.themorningnews.org/article/the-roger-ebert-reader-on-addiction


We went to a District 34 (Bellevue/Redmond/Mercer Island) workshop on the 12 Traditions this morning.  Funny how AA does things.  Lacking a convenient venue in District 34, the workshop was held in District 35-Kirkland.  One lady had a week of sobriety.  The majority of the audience likely had more than 15 years of sobriety.  At least two of the guys there got sober when they were 20 years old and are now going on 40 years of sobriety.  There were 50 chairs and packets—they were all taken by the time we got there.


I am grateful for the many wonderful role models, writers and speakers in AA that help me stay sober one more day at a time.
