Sometimes I can be pretty long winded and I fought this deal all my life.
If you believe that this is a three fold disease, that takes you physically, mentally, and spiritually than it is very simple cause we get sober first is usually the physical, than the mental, than last we start where we are spiritually fit. When you relapse it happens backwards.
I didn't ask God to help me stay sober (spiritual)
Than i start getting the Bucket of F*cklts (mental)
Than I use (physical)
Thanks for allowing me to share.
