Being addicted to alcohol or drugs is not just a bad habit. It’s a manner of living which consumes all of my good sense and controls every decision I make.
When I stopped drinking, the only thing I had to change was everything. Getting sober is not easy. I had to want to be sober more than anything else.
I needed to learn to follow simple direction. I needed to talk with other alcoholics and stop trusting my insane thinking.
I needed to come to believe that God could restore my sanity.
It’s not easy. That’s why sober alcoholics are such rare birds.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
