I have been living sober for quite a while. Over time, I got the hang of it. That doesn’t mean I’m on cruise-control. Every once in a while I learn about someone who relapses after a period of sobriety. The thought of it horrifies me. The reason is always the same – they forget and

When I find myself reluctant to pray, it’s a warning sign to me. It is a sign of complacency. Sometimes I feel rushed. Sometimes I feel like I don’t need to pray. Usually it’s a sign that I’m veering off of the right path. Hitting my knees and asking for God’s Help shows humility. After

Regardless of my present circumstances, how I am feeling, or what I am thinking, I need to put my recovery ahead of everything. Anything that I put above my recovery I will lose – including my sobriety … including my soul. Each day I must remember that I am an alcoholic. My alcoholism never goes

I hope that I am not judged for my shortcomings. Each of us falls short sometimes. I hope that I can be understanding enough so that I don’t judge others. I hope that if I am judged, it is for never giving up on myself. God never gives up on me. God, please help

When I realized that I needed God’s Help in order to get sober, I really didn’t know how to go about doing that. I was told to get on my knees and pray – every morning and every night. I wasn’t so sure it would work, but I was assured that it was the only

Having been spared from a life of endless misery, I have an obligation to try to help someone else. Carrying the message is my responsibility. Of course I cannot change anyone. But I can share how I have changed, in hopes that it may give someone else hope. Sharing the gift is the only way
