My fellow suffering alcoholic, I made a conscious decision "NO MATTER WHAT COMES DOWN THE PIKE, I DON'T DRINK"
I can eat a gallon of ice cream daily, smoke two packs, over exercise, under exercise, whatever it takes…… JUST DON'T PICK UP A DRINK
On Feb 9th I will celebrate 25 years of sobriety and it has gone so quickly it's been painless, honestly. Sure life has ups and downs but how about living with no fear because you have the tools to live life, no regrets of the past because you learn to make amends 'fearlessly' and with 'humility'
Nor do we wish to close the door on the past, once we are honest about who we are, no one can tell us anything we don't know, no surprise skeletons but when our story can be useful to another suffering alcoholic, we are not afraid or ashamed to tell our story
The alcoholics sins are not the worst but we often feel as if they are because of our sense of guilt.
This is why the alcoholic can be redeemed,,,,, CONSCIENCE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS, A NEED TO BE FORGIVEN v those evil ones who perpetrate against us with no conscience for the damage their abuses of others causes, could care less..
Clearly You care, well on your way to giving up the booze completely, just DON'T PICK UP A DRINK NO MATTER WHAT, EVERYTHING ELSE WILL WORK ITSELF OUT IT TIME AS YOUR LIFE BALANCES.
Do things for other, small things, open doors, help carry groceries, smile at someone., give up your seat… you give them Hope to believe in the goodness of mankind again, & you benefit from the energy of joy that comes with just these small efforts. I won't describe,it's so beautiful to experience your heart opening up to the light. God Bless ODAT.

WHEN YOU TAKE A MOMENT, GET ON YOUR KNEES AND ASK GOD FOR THE COURAGE & STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD, ASK SIMPLY 'GOD HELP ME' HE KNOWS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD TELL HIM ALREADY
THEN HIT THE SACK YOU DESERVE SOME SLEEP…
OH HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING, WE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THAT IN AA TOO. GET A COPY OF THE 'BIG BOOK' IT'S A LIFELINE THOUGH HARD TO WALK THROUGH ALONE, IT IS THE BEST SLEEPING PILL YOU COULD USE WHILE STILL SEE THE WORDS OF RECOVERY
