Doing the right thing is not always easy to figure out. Often it’s uncomfortable. Often it’s a question of integrity. Sometimes it’s a question of showing compassion. I must let my conscience be my guide. My connection with God guides my conscience. God always knows the right thing to do. If I don’t know I

I spent years trying to escape who I am and what I am. It caused me a lot of pain and suffering. When I was able to really find myself, I finally became free. I am no longer haunted. I am no longer afraid. I’m ok. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. God,

There will come a day when everything goes wrong and builds up to overwhelm me. That is the day when I might want to give up, especially because it feels so unfamiliar and daunting. That is the day when my Faith in God will be tested. Between now and that day I had better work

“We admitted … that our lives had become unmanageable”. Once I stopped drinking, I no longer had a drinking problem. I have always had a thinking problem. Alcohol just adds gasoline to that fire. I need to correct my thinking. My self-destructive tendencies will lead me to drink again. I need to seek God’s Protection

Sometimes my mind just goes too fast for my body. Turning off the noise seems impossible. “First things first” comes to mind. I am not a machine. I operate as a human. The tragedies that lie ahead have occurred only in my mind. The failings of the past are in the past. I need to
