Guest guest Posted August 12, 1998 Report Share Posted August 12, 1998 I dont normally do this, fwd stuf without permission. i asked permission and she didnt didnt reply. just felt like another reminder of what we have escaped was called for. she appears to think " cheerio " means " hello " in england. it means " goodbye " . the reply she so eagerly anticipates merely pointed out that i was responding to someone who claimed there was no reference to eating candy in the BB.

Blessings and Greetings to you. I am quite curious as to your point here. Where are you from may answer a first Question. What are you pointing Cynicism towards ? If there is not cynicism detedted here, please clear my mind. Is your reference to using candy, or sweets, as it may lead to addictions that way ?? Or that a psychiatrist made a suggestion to use a remedy that was about the most simple and acceptable way to curb either the hyper/hypo- glycemic reactions that acloholic and addicts go through---ESPECIALLY in the early days/phases of thier steps towards sobriety. Those early days of leaving the sugar, that is in and produced by alcohol, out of their functioning system. Esepcially in those days of early recovery movement, and still uncharted waters (unpublished anyway) of biologic and scientific research. Are you a student studying the Big Book for a thesis, or using the Big Book for recovery and enlightenment ? Are you a group of students ? What is your purpose of investigating the Big Book ? I remain in faithfulness to the God given gift of the program and Big Book of AA for my ealriest days and experiences of recovery, and continue to evolve with it. As it also remains and tried and true source of life changing affects towards correcting much in our society, civlization, the approach to living on this planet, and toward attitude adjustments and correcting of personality disorders, character defects, and flaws of humanity. I reamin faithful to a greater Higher Power whom I have come to understand as God, Our Father, that one whom has all power, as the one that Civilization must turn back to. Man himself is his own destroyer without guidance and direction of the Great One-God in Jesus, without His advice we have come to create our own doom. I thak God for the Big Book and the fellowhip of AA, and all the stories therin, for the light and wisdom I have gained and been shown. For now, I pray that is happening also for you and yours. That we might all receive more power to carry out His will for us all. I smile in prayer and joy, antticipating your reply. What is the ac in United Kingdom ? (so good to see a posting like this on the Subabuse group. Keep it up !) -- Pete ---------------------- Cool Briton Civilization must put an end to the War on Drugs or the War on Drugs will put an end to Civilization.
