Who is Margaret Whitaker, and why am I doing this work?
I am doing this because in 1959, after many years of living with and dealing with the pain, I started to look for answers. This was when I went to my first AA meeting with someone close to me. I came home with two questions:
What is an addiction?
Why can they not say no?
I believe I have found the answers, and many more that came with them.
One of the most important things I found is:
People change when they HURT ENOUGH
People change when they KNOW ENOUGH THAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE
People change when they SEE ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE INSPIRED TO CHANGE
People change when they ARE GIVEN THE ASSISTANCE THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE
