HEY DRINKERS. THE GIG IS UP. DRINKING IS UNCOOL AND DANGEROUS.

Views on alcohol and drugs are shifting rapidly, especially among millennials and Gen Z.

Editor's note: This month we hear a couple of stories including a young person's experience with sobriety, insights on what it means to turn things over and a report from the North Sea Convention. I was 22 when I first got into the rooms of AA.

Turning it over? Who really wants to have to turn their will, their lives, their finances, and their romantic sexual lives over to anyone? Much less a GOD*, higher power, Mother Nature, the universe, sky daddy whatever without knowing exactly what this is? I can’t think of many people that would do that without knowing there was something in it for them if they chose to do that. What’s in it for me? Well, from experience I have found that working a program I started to get breakthrough results, peace of mind, and even cash and prizes by going into the program and steps 100%. I came in backward. I got the results, and decided to try for a larger contact with my imagined higher power, god* if you like, then gently came to believe more and more. But it’s because I got results. Not because I came looking for a god*. One thing I noticed by trying to turn things over to a universe that was more powerful than me, was that I felt less lonely and a lot more powerful. Playing god, and having to do everything myself was exhausting. But when I just trusted that the universe would help me in my earthly pursuits, good things happened. Being human, I wanted more. I actually “made a decision” to want more. When I look at the first half of the 3rd step it was “we made a decision”. I can’t do anything without making a decision to do something. Whether it is kicking ass at work, finding a healthy but fun relationship, or eating an apple, I can’t make it happen unless I decide to do it. It’s not rocket science. When I bring my enthusiasm and add it to the faith that I can try to get better results in my life and work a 12 Step program, I have found I get results. Personally, I would guarantee results, but that’s not an approved message. It’s my message and what I have discovered, however. I feel relief from fear and dread when I turn things over and expect better results. I have come to expect results and I’m not disappointed.
