Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent had
a drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.

If i continue to work the principles
of our recovery program in my
every day affairs ODAAT then
come this Saturday Aug. 11, I
will have 17 yrs of continuous
sobriety.

For that and you I am truely
grateful.

So we learn early on in recovery
how powerless we really are. We
are powerless over others. Powerless
over things. Places too.

What about spending money irrationally?
That's me. I cant stop....Im wreckless.
Same as it was with drinking....

We often trade one addiction for
another....never really solving the
problem that is really causing us to
do the crazy things we do.

How about the person next to you?

How much do they drive u crazy?
Pizz u off? Drive u nuts?

And yet we cant control them as
far as we can throw them. It's
just not gonna happen no matter
how hard we try.

That's powerlessness.

What r those things, those people,
those places that drive us up
the wall and we cant do a thing
about it except.....what?


ACCEPTANCE.

That is the key that will unlock the
door to serenity. Peace of mind.

Share you thoughts or ur own
ESH...experiences, strengths
and hopes on ur own powerless-
ness.

Thanks for letting me share.
