I have made my share of mistakes in my life. Some of them were carelessness. Some of them were bad judgement. Some of them were just self-willed foolishness. Every day I get a chance to correct my mistakes or make new ones. Every day is a second chance. I can’t let my mistakes of the

No one understands an alcoholic like another alcoholic. We think differently than other people, especially our developed insanity. When I connect and identify my common thoughts and feelings with another alcoholic, I know that I’m not alone and that there is hope for me. My alcoholism never goes away.

I need patience. Sometimes I get so used to things moving at my pace that I forget that others are not reading my mind. Being impatient is careless. It shows others that I think I am more important than them. I need to learn to wait. The rest of the world is not here to

Others have done more for me than I could ever do for them. I have not gotten this far on my own. The love and compassion shown towards me shows me the right way to live. I am grateful for the people God has put into my life. I need to show that gratitude daily
