One or two issues but we&#8217;re getting there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">&#8220;&#8230;As you say a long time, and your note arrived just the day before my 8th sober birthday which I always tell people is down to ASK and then my continued attendance and involvement in AA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Without these two organisations I doubt if I would now be alive let alone happy , sober and back in favour with all my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks for getting in touch, and for all the support you and ASK gave me in the early days of my journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">&#8220;&#8230;..I feel that this time will be my last, I wanted to thank you for talking to me like a normal person and not a teacher, \u00a0I will let you know how I go thanks&#8230;..&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8221; It was so good to meet with you last Wednesday and I&#8217;m feeling \u00a0more confident and in control every day. You have given me a lot of information to research which I am working my way through slowly but surely! Thank you so much for your help. \u00a0I&#8217;ll keep in touch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just wanted to say how helpful I found our conversation. It&#8217;s quite difficult trying to understand something we know so little about. My daughter has sung your praises so much and now I understand why. \u00a0We will keep in touch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t thank you enough for steering me in this direction. I have always said no to group sessions when it has been suggested before, but I am so glad I went.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just a quick email to let you know I haven&#8217;t had a drink since our meeting on Monday 16th Feb 09. My family are proud of me as I am of myself too.\u00a0 I feel good within myself, high spirited and more focused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ASK seems to work like osmosis. Listening to others and seeing yourself and your habits reflected back does help your mind become strong against the drink.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;as for me I completed nine months of sobriety last week and can&#8217;t tell you the difference in myself, family, friends and work&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt so low and alone. My family steered me in the direction of ASK. Seven years later I have got my life back in order and I enjoy it to the full. Every day I am dry is a bonus. ASK taught me that you need never feel alone with your drink problem. I am so truly grateful for all the help and support they gave me and continue to give to others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;two weeks later I walked through the door of the Methodist Mission and saw hope for the first time in twenty years. Today, I have not had a drink for 10 months, and have never been happier. I am enjoying my sobriety every minute of every day, and I owe it all to the help and support of ASK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Best money I ever spent. Thank you so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;..Very attentive, with an in depth understanding of the issues involved&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;Something clicked and I just realised how much of my life I have been wasting with wine. When you said I had the tools to quit and just needed to stop blaming everything else and making excuses, the penny dropped&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ASK &#8211; How can I get in touch?<a title=\"Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alcoholsupport.net\/kirklees\/?page_id=99\">\u00a0Click here to find out\u00a0.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASK &#8211; What Do Other People Think? &#8220;You gave me some good advice regards my son, Daniel, a few years ago.
