hay PD,you sure told my story too....recently I got sick and stuck in the hospitol
and ended up out of work 5 weeks....and got a 45,000 bill sitting at home....

that loss of income hurts too....
I found myself discouraged one day,and then I realized why.My attention had drifted off God , my soberiety,and all my blessings.I was focused on tbe problem,and it grew.
Now I believe my life is in Gods hands,so why should I be concerned?

I am out here working my rear off to pay everything.
Thats part of the blessing,to have the health,desire to do right,and the soberiety to do it.
A change in attitude over the old atitude when I was drunk and did not care.
Today we both care and that is a gift the way I see it.If all I get done before I clear out of this life is stay sober,and work and get those bills paid,it will be a good life
and a blessing .We are living right in the middle of an AA promise


our attitudes and outlook upon life will change.......
