If only others had<br>been so honest. Paradoxes raise questions that<br>encourage us to think. Here are some recovery<br>paradoxes: \u2018No Gain Without Pain\u2019, \u2018Give it Away to<br>Keep it\u2019, \u2018Perfectionists Underperform\u2019, \u2018Learn from<br>Your Enemies\u2019. And it seemed quite a paradox when<br>two hopeless drunks met in a hotel room in Akron,<br>Ohio and discovered that talking together kept them<br>sober. From that meeting, millions of people have<br>been helped thanks to the fellowships of the Twelve<br>Steps.

Perhaps<br>when we sober up, we need to go back to college for<br>a while. The fellowships provide us with a way of<br>growing up and educating ourselves besides the<br>more obvious benefits on offer. May I never take the<br>Twelve Step fellowships for granted.
