The Lois Wilson Story
The biography of Lois Burnham Wilson was long overdue for many reasons, perhaps the most important being that without her, there not only wouldn't be Al-Anon, but neither would there be the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous:

Recovery Help
"My first sponsor said she did not know if we had a generation gap or if I had brain damage. Although only in my twenties at the time, the destruction to my body did not leave for over a year, and the destruction to my mind and soul for many more years. I just had to hang on and stay in the middle of the pack. Anyone can do the same. You don’t need medical benefits, insurance, rich relatives or homes to hock for a 30 day check-in Hilton miracle. I know with absolute certainty that God will meet you anywhere."

Letter From Your Disease
"Hello, Just in case you forgot me, I am your disease. I hate meetings, I hate higher powers, I hate anyone who has and works a program. To all who come in contact with me, I wish you suffering and I wish you death. Allow me to tell you about myself. I am the disease of addiction...."

Keeping Pure in a Bar Joke
A fellow in a bar notices a woman come in on a fairly regular basis, always alone. After the second week, he made his move. "No, thank you," she said, politely. "This may sound rather odd in this day and age, but I'm keeping myself pure until I meet the man I love." "That must be rather difficult," the man replied. "Oh, I don't mind too much," she said. "But, it has my husband pretty upset."

today's quota: Addiction, the Hammer, and the Sales Pitch

Chris Rock on Addiction
"I don't get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there's no rehab for stupidity."
"Actually, I think all addiction starts with soda. Every junkie did soda first. But no one counts that. Maybe they should. The soda connection is clear. Why isn't a presidential commission looking into this? Or at least some guys from the National Carbonation Council." - Chris Rock quotes


ChrisRock.com Video Clips

The Hammer
"My Dad used to always say sometimes we like to hit ourselves on the head with a hammer just because it feels so good when you stop. God, he was a wise man!"
- James, 'Letter to My Addiction'


The Sales Pitch
"Imagine how it might be if we had arrived at the doors of Narcotics Anonymous, desperate, wanting to stop using drugs, only to be met by a sales pitch: 'If you just work the steps and don't use drugs, you'll get married, live in the suburbs, have 2.6 children, and start wearing polyester...' Most of us, greeted with such a heavy-handed spiel, would have shrieked and bolted for the door."
- NA's Basic Text, p 102
