What Happened Before What Happened Happened
An AA brother shared, “When I was drinking, I would often wake up hungover and wonder what the hell happened?”
“When I came to AA and began working on Step #1 with my sponsor, I realized the question was not what happened. That was easy. Getting drunk was what happened; I had to see what happened before I got drunk. The important question was, what happened before what happened, happened?”
Excitement and Joy
One of the topics at a recent meeting was Joy. And one share in particular resonated with these times of lockdown and boredom.
The third fellow to speak shared stories from his drinking days. They were, to the alcoholic ear, amusing—tales that would have shamed a normal person. The litany included fights, arrests and general mayhem.
