Hello All

[Fat Tony]

Fat Tony from Chicago, dropping in to say Hello. I been around the fellowship oF AA for few 24hrs. I am stricly by The Big Book. So its not to correct people to feel superior but this is a matter of life or death for me. There are people out there who feel meeting are just enough. All I can say half measures avail us nothing. "The rule is we must be hard on ourself, but always considerate of others." :42:

:49: Fat Tony to Cyber Recovery Fellowship, I am Tammy, an alcoholic and drug addict in AA and NA and also Alanon and Naranon. I am glad to have you join us. We have many here who come from many different 12 step recovery groups; different walks of life and who are at different stages in their recovery, who have come together to share their own experience, strength and hope freely with each other as well as share from many different types of literature. We give love, support, understanding and encouragement to each other as we go through 24 hours together staying sober and clean. I assure you that this is a life or death matter for me also as well as others here. Keep coming back.

Your Friend In Recovery,
Tammy

Hello Fat Tony. Welcome. I hope you keep coming back. There are great people in here with great advice. Keep coming back. I am an addict staying clean right now. It's hard at times, but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I wish you all the best.

I grew up in Chicago. That said, I am rather fond of the Big Book myself. I am learning it more and more. I am learning so much by just reading it with newcomers. I love this cyberfamily because there is so much :93:

Hi Fat Tony welcome aboard. I am Fi and alcoholic from Australia who has been sober for many years, and I too was hard on myself when I got sober. I needed to be because I could reason and rationalise the most utter garbage particularly I could reason myself in and out of a drink. I've learn to put the whip away a bit at least and I hope to see you around.
