I spent the last two years out of AA altogether
no one in AA is responsible for my recovery but me
God is not even responsible
I had to get honest about why I decided to drink again
that was simple
I quit doing anything at all to keep me sober
I thought I was too smart to drink! Talk about insanity returning
why should your sponsor call to check on you? I do not call folks that go back out I pray for them then leave them to face there own decision
why should I enable some one
I refuse to p;ay little alcoholic mind games nor to be manipulated
you are the one who drank you are the one who needs to do the phone calls
be fore I drank again I was the "queen of the yea, butts"
I fired sponsors that dared to tell me the cold hard facts
quit playing games and get to your home group get a sponsor that is going to
share their experience, strength, and hope get into the big book and start over
today I have been sober again almost 15 years
my relapse saved my life!!
I know that if I do not do what is laid out in the big book I will drink again
I am NOT cured
hope you make it
