You have a higher power

TIAGF knowing that everybody has a higher power, and it is not me.

I could not control my drinking so how could I control the drinking of those who killed themselves?

Acceptance is the answer to my problems today when I let go and let my higher power(God) control what I have turned over to him.

I hope you have the little blue book with the bird on the front cover published by Hazelden with Rheinhold Neibuhr's complete prayer on the last page. I have my daughter's copy.

TIAGF all of the prayers which I have learned in recovery that had no meaning when I studied religion as electives while I was in engineering school.

To comfort, to understand, to love, to self forget, to forgive......what an order I can go through with it til the dirt hits me in the face. Thank you God.

TIAGF
- getting back here alive. Depression from drinking, shut me down. Cut off and alone sucks
- my family that still loves and needs me.
- still have a job
- I am loved.
- I have a future , but I gave it up to God. I'm just making a freaking wreck out of it
- grateful to finally be reading up on how NOT to die from alcoholism
