Building some time
Posted On: 03/01/2010 16:50:23

I was looking at my sobriety date ..... the day the month the year has all changed, At one point, a good point in my life, I had accumulated many days of sobriety, almost 10 years of taking it one day at a time. I dont know what my problem is this time, I just had a few months under my belt and bam again.....starting all over, I do have a couple weeks, I know what it takes, I know what I need to do . there is so much good in my life and so many things at risk to lose....if I start down that path again......so God, why is it so hard this time? I know its simple, just say no, decide not too, so why am I lacking that strength., I pray everyday for it.......Im just thinking out loud, and I cant wait to hear some response, thanks all for being here it does help!!...........................

We all just have today-

The longest journey for this drunk is from my head

to my heart.

If I truly start my awakening with prayer, roll onto my knees

for willingness;  stretch with honesty & gratitude...

If I try to be open and listen, reach out to others-kindly...

to the best of my ability - then- that nasty Black bird who lives

close to my left shoulder...may be in remission for another day.

I won't feel the talons closing-

Yes my disease is there. Vigilant , waiting- that sparkly, fathomless

eye... deadly.

I surely didn't get this program right away- (even now I can be stubborn

or defiant...)But I don't loose my experience! you don't loose yours-

your clean time is there, you own it. Do your daily inventory, your readings,

your meetings- reach out in service to others. JUST DO IT...Bring the body

& the mind will follow. Believe that I believe, if need be.         Nia

Amy, as you've showed yourself, it's not simple. Once you get out of your own way and truly surrender, want things for yourself, trust, become 100% honest, etc, the program is simple. Living, wanting and being ready are not.


Good luck this time round, I'm sure you'll find ways to do things differently!

     One of the thoughts floating around the rooms is that while we may be sober for a period (years), this disease doesn't regress or sit still. It's quietly growing all on it's own. So if we do go back out, it's like we never stopped. Each time coming back being harder and harder. 


     I don't know, by the grace of God and our fellowship I've managed to stay sober. I do that by doing the same things I did in the beginning. Meetings, sponsor, service...


YF,


Dennis
