Micaela was my cousin, no, I should say more like a sister. I live in McMinnville, Oregon. I have to say that I am not surprised that when I Google her name, I find such wonderful things that are said about her. I miss her greatly each minute of my day. Peace and love for you. As you, who maybe had no idea, would brighten my day, and give us hope for a better tomorrow. Peace/Sincerely, Jessica I just want to thank you for your deep and caring thoughts.

Nowhere do the words SOBRIETY, RECOVERY, ABSTINENCE, HEALTH, HAPPINESS, JOY, & LOVE appear in the 12 Steps. The word ‘alcohol’ is only used once, when it was PATCHED into the 1st Step for the word “sin.” But Wilson wrote “ We are powerless over ‘alcohol’… Oxford Group Slogan; “We are powerless over sin & have been defeated by it.

Close friends of and relatives have lost their lives to alcohol related sickness and/or incidents. Using (and abusing) alcohol is just as potentially dangerous as firearms. As young adults we (at least most of us native Montanans) were trained to handle firearms with respect, respecting that fact that this in-animate object could take a life in the blink of an eye. Alcohol should be treated with the same respect. When treated with respect and a few ground rules... alcohol can and should be enjoyed without consequence. No need for apologies. Condolences to you and your family, Tim.
