Rooting Around

I've been searching, looking for my old stuff. You know, my old AA stuff from my first time around. So far all that I've been able to find is my copy of Twenty-Four Hours A Day that was given to me by my first sponsor when I acheived thirty days of sobriety. Written inside the front cover are these words:

6/16/90
Remember one day at a time it works.
K. I. S. S.
Ronda
7/16/90
30 days!!

For those not familiar with 12 step programs, K. I. S. S. means keep it simple, stupid!

Looking at those words made me very upset that I threw it all away, so turned the pages to the meditation for August 15.
It began with these words:

Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic

Amazing that it should be words so appropriate for me, starting over from square one...
