It has been a good day because 6 of my men called in the same day! Usually 2-4 daily but today everybody was on a high due to the holidays. Only one man was (on fire)experiencing trama due to poor decisions and choices. I have noticed after 21 years of being sober that the one common thing that seemed to connect all my problems when I was (getting sober) I WAS THERE!!!!! I was the common denominator! It was my decision and choice which resulted in the problem! The goal of recovery is to learn to consult with those who are successfully staying sober regarding my choices and actions. Jack, an AA who passed away years ago always said," If your group agrees and your sponsor agrees and a dog would do it? It will probably be o.k. for you to do it!!! AA wisdom My book is selling, well. See it at(www.acureforaddiction.com) Have a great sober weekend all! Mr. Denny

Captain has been one of my sponsored men for the last 2 years. When my Pamela and I got back from Thailand we met he and his wife at a church dinner. He had lost his license to fly due to drugs and alcohol. After a lot of work he received his medical certification and license to fly reinstated by the F.A.A. Those people are rough to work with if you are a commercial pilot. He has been flying for a private individual in a Lear Jet. He has started his own company called Global Aircraft Recovery. He can fly 747's or anything else, I think. I get to copilot to K.C. In January on this trip! I'm excited because my last flight physical in Bangkok, I couldn't pass. Brain damage from a sickness not related to my addiction. Come to think of it, I have killed 1000's of brain cells with booze??? Maybe?hahaha! He is flying and I get to copilot, first flight in years. Neither one of us would have that opportunity if not for sobriety! Have a great day everyone! Mr. Denny

Professionals should never be surprised how "crazy" addicts behave but I always am? I suppose I am just an opptomist? How many times do we watch addicts do the same behaviors over and overandoverandover? I once had a psychiatrist friend explain that was a definition of insanity. I encourage my people to contact their respective boards when they are about to make decisions which will significantly change their lives? When they do so they reach a more informed decision, right or wrong, subjective sure! Adage of the day- Make no decision, take no action which will change your life forever WITHOUT YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS BLESSINGS! When an addict or alcoholic says they will do whatever they d--- well please, I always ask," How is that working out for you so far?" The wise seek to make appropriate choices. Maturity demands that I be accontable for those choices, so, I want them to be as good as I can!

To work! The doctor is now in and receiving patients!
Q1 No, I am not a doctor. I was refering to your doctor. Addiction kills people. It is a disease. Like cancer, it can affect many different areas of your life. No person has exactly the same problem as the next person. We are all different.Your problem is your problem. Deal with it or you my suffer greatly before you die. Only 3-6% of those with addiction receive help. Most are undiagnosed? Please see your doctor if you have health problems immediately. People do die from this condition.

Hello all, it has been a challenging day. Mr. L is dealing with the mother of his children this holiday. He has several months of continuous sobriety, but, she is still using drugs. He is torn over his responsibility to his children and this women. It is very hard for him to put his own recovery in front of the problems he sees.
After explaining(overandover)he can not repeat the old behaviors of violence without consequences. His emotions are the challenge today. His willingness to seek counsel and follow instruction is his strongest asset. He is a good man sober. Using, he was dangerous to himself, mostly. He gets a B+ for his effort today!
Mr. C got suspended from his job(withpay) that is our government for you. His driving after a few beers landed him in the local pokey. He was cooperative so no awful charges like assault, homicide, or drugs! He is newly sober so we have a long way to go. He is attending AA and calling everyday for feedback.He gets a C.
Talk with you tomorrow! Mr. Denny
One day at a time is a powerful HOPE. Come back or go to(acureforaddiction.com)
