[Sheryl85]

Sugah is right. The method I used was separating the “act” from the “actor”. I do not have to like the act, but the person deserves my pity. They are spiritually sick.

Right now you are too. There is no quick fix to your situation. This is going to take hard work on your part in all areas of your life. You can take this lesson and use it to emphasize the Steps that you are working on. Obviously it shows you the powerlessness and unmanageability as described in Step One. The insanity of the situation can serve as a stepping stone for launching Step Two. Grasp the message that is entailed there and move on to Step Three. (I’ll share a method that I use with Step Three is when I turn my “will and my life” over to God, I am turning my thoughts and my actions over to His direction.) As I said, there is no quick fix here, but you must also remember that you are not going to be perfect at this. We strive for progress, not perfection. Above all, remember that we are NOT bad people trying to get good. We ARE sick people trying to get better. Get with you sponsor and start working on that plan of action to get you through this situation. The answers will present themselves if you ask for guidance. Your Higher Power will see to that. You only need to ask…

Last but not least… When the train runs over you, it isn’t the caboose that kills you. It’s the engine that hits you. So, no matter what, (even if you think your butt is falling off) DON’T DRINK or USE!
