Hi all! I want to let you know what we are doing at the Desert Island Club. I, Anne Laemmle, am now the manager, with a great bunch of board members! We are making changes that we hope you will enjoy. We now have a pool table and a pac man machine. We are looking into making more hours on the weekends for all of our recovery community. We are looking into Euchre, pool and poker tournaments. We are hoping to add some kid friendly activities. I hope to give a clearer idea of what we will be offering in the very near future. I hope you all come by and see us.
Thanks! Sobriety is great!

Grapevine Daily Quote - January 08, 2026

“The effort to escape from truth is the father of anxiety.”

THE VICTORY OF SURRENDER

We perceive that only through utter defeat are we able to take our first steps toward liberation and strength. Our admissions of personal powerlessness finally turn out to be firm bedrock upon which happy and purposeful lives may be built.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 21

When alcohol influenced every facet of my life, when bottles became the symbol of all my self indulgence and permissiveness, when I came to realize that, by myself, I could do nothing to overcome the power of alcohol, I realized I had no recourse except surrender. In surrender I found victory—victory over my selfish self-indulgence, victory over my stubborn resistance to life as it was given to me. When I stopped fighting anybody or anything, I started on the path to sobriety, serenity and peace.
