The sad fact is that most alcoholics are not able to get sober and stay sober. Most of the ones who stay sober for the long-term practice a manner of living which includes reliance upon a Higher Power. Most of the ones who fail try to rely upon themselves. God doesn’t exclude those who fail.…

When I was hopeless, I needed other people to have hope for me. When I had no faith, I needed other people to have faith for me. When I needed other people, other people were present for me. Now, God wants me to be there for others when I may be useful. We never really…

I’ve had times when things go really good, but those runs eventually fizzle because life changes. I’ve had times when things go really poorly, but those eventually turn around as well.

Wrong choices lead me in the wrong direction. Often these choices lead me to make more wrong choices. I know it. I’m not that naive. I allow my denial of the truth to cloud my judgment. It’s like my compass is broken. I know it and I follow it anyway. I need to find someone…

I have no delusions about who I am or what I am anymore. I am an alcoholic. When I drink, I become a drunk because I cannot stop once I start. When I turn my life over to the care of the God of my understanding, I am no longer a drunk. When I keep…
