Big Book:83-88 daily
Bible:
Psalm 116:3-4 "The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, save me!"
Acts 2:21"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved".
THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

Work in progress...The things I should not have done I can not do any more.
I grew up in Chicago through High school where my addictions were planted & grew. My first drunk was around 16 that landed me in the hospital. It was also around that same time that I went to my first Grateful Dead show where the long strange trip began. Then I moved to Colorado for 5 years of college and skiing. This is where experimentation with all drugs and all combinations happened. I was searching for God through hallucinogens and could not find him. After graduating I tried sobriety for the 1st time by a 28 day treatment center, AA and it lasted for 3 glorious years. The relapse came after I moved, stopped going to meetings, and did not get a new sponsor. Then a 4 year drunk where I lost my first job. I lived out of my truck at campsites, working where I could,and mostly ate what I could catch in the river & was given. I got a job and went to the Dr. where he gave me 1-3 years to live so that lead to another 3 years sober, with no AA. I was on the Marijuana maintenance program. Next relapse came on a Colorado river rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. It took me only 3 days to get back to my liter of liquor drinking a day and then off on a 4 year drunk. I was about to lose my job again so now I am back on and God willing for many days going forward. I have never been married and have no kids. I would like to find a special woman if I am lucky, but I can accept my life as God will have me either way. I am a God fearing Catholic filled with guilt until my 5th and 9th step. When I drink/use it pushes faith out of my life and I am happy to have it back for now. I tend to love to fast & hurt therefore faster. I have now found God without drugs & alcohol. It is like chasing a butterfly. You can never catch it, but if you stop running and look the other way it will land softly on your shoulder. To be continued...

Myself when sober, powder ski trails, daydreaming, Chicago Bears, peaceful places and traveling to find them. Morning prayers & doing my best to live God's will. My kids are my dog (Walter) and cat (Calvin) and they bring so much joy to my life and the definition of unconditional LOVE.

Myself when I am drunk. Stinking thinking and being on the pity pot (president of the itty, bitty, shitty, committee). Poor me, poor me, pour me-another. When 2 people fight the outcome is never good: one goes to the hospital, and the other gets arrested. I dislike hate, anger, rage, no tolerance, ignorance, impatience, hypocritical politicians, closed minds, adultery, abortions over adoption. We all are sinners, including myself & I deal with that.
