And I agree with Lily....Time to start praying for others and stop trying to fix them.....The only one you have to fix right now is you...I'd read page 86 and 87 in the Big Book everday and get busy....Take your sponsors suggestions and follow them. You can do this...How much willingness do you have?
I called my sponsor and he is not surprised. My son, who is six years old, said to my wife: "Daddy's drunk again." I'm not an angry drunk, I just pass out and get loopy. So the kids are aware of me snoring in my study with my feet up on my desk.
The biggest problem I have goes right back to the core of this topic. I don't like
feeling enslaved by a problem. I literally do not want to accept this fate.
