My sponsor says I have been given a 3rd chance at this "life" thing. My 2nd go at recovery and my 1st go at life. I did not take the first chance at recovery seriously. I found a higher power who was tall, dark and handsom. When he left I had nothing to hold on too, so I started drinking agian. My early life is much like yours. I grew up in a small town with my mom and step father. My father died when I was about 2 1/2. My mom married my step father when I was 5 and I quickly became "dad's girl". I can remeber through all of my life that there were always parties at my house till well after high school, so it became very easy at a very young age to drink. I came into the rooms of AA at 19 stayed almost 5 years and returned to die for about 2 more years before coming back to AA. In those 2 years I feel I destroyed more people, places, and things then I had ever my whole life. To be honest I wasn't sure I was able to turn back from the h*ll? I had created for myself. I had no other place to turn so I found a meeting and went...Soon after got a sponsor and a home group and stayed. Life is Life. I have learned how to deal with things that I used to drink over. I can feel and it is okay. I can laugh and enjoy life. I don't have the relationship with friends and family that I hoped or expected I would but I do have a relationship with them and I am greatful that the people who I hurt, cut so deeply, still love me. They are still very much gaurded from me even a little more then 2 years later. They are there, yay! I have new friends and family who welcome me with open arms, and I thank each of you. With out God, and you where would I be?

God was going to be our Director. Pg 62
A prayer...
My eyes are closed now...
If when they open
You are before me
Life is as it should be
And as I wish it to be
If only I could close my eyes,
And when I would awake
Everything would be as it should
As it should be
And not as I want
If I could just close my eyes,
And open them to see yours
If life was as it should be
Would you hold me in your arms
As I close my eyes
Will my eyes open to love
The world as it should be
And not as I would wish it to become
- Ann K.
