When I stopped drinking, I had to start doing a bunch of things that I had never done before, including prayer and going to meetings.
I was very uncomfortable around people, I was afraid I was going to find myself drinking again, and I seemed like a real weirdo to people who knew me.
After a while I was a little more comfortable. My fear of drinking turned into a respect for my addiction. I turned to God for help. I started hanging around fellow weirdos.
I may still be a weirdo but I am sober and I’m good with that.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
