Some days I just feel overwhelmed, mainly with all of the things I have in front of me. I have expectations of myself that sometimes are too much. I do it to myself – I get “too far out over my skis”. At times like that, I can easily get the “F**k Its”, which is…

Most days I do not struggle to have a good perspective, but it was not always like this. For me, quieting my mind takes practice and patience. I need to try to set aside the noise in my mind, ask God to take away my fears, and allow my soul to listen. Despite my inadequacies,…

God doesn’t owe me anything. God hears my prayers, if I ask Him sincerely and humbly. God does not comply with my demands. God shares His Grace with me as He sees fit, on His terms, and in His time. I would not have this life without the Grace of God. God, please help…

Since I stopped drinking, I have yet to find a good enough reason to drink again. Each difficulty I have faced has not caused me to drink. I know that picking up a drink will always turn a good situation into a bad one, and a bad situation into a worse one. I know that…

Sometimes I make a bad decision for the right reason. It’s usually when I’m trying to help someone else and they let me down. I can’t control other people and I can’t control what they do. I need to take care of my “side of the street” and do the best I can each day.…

When I look back at my journey, there were many times where I felt lost. Whenever that happened, people gave me directions and I was able to find my way. Like many of us, I am not good at asking for directions. I always thought that I would just figure things out. It’s a pride…

I must never forget where I came from and what my life used to be like. I have a “built-in forgetter”, which is fueled by ego and denial. The denial part says it wasn’t that bad. The ego part says I got here on my own. Every day I need to remember how soul-less I…

For me, the desire to drink really did go away. When I first stopped, I didn’t think the desire ever would be lifted. The fear of picking up a drink was constant. Praying, going to meetings and listening to direction on how to stop helped a lot, but that fear made me very uncomfortable. Then…
