I was told that AA is simple but not easy. I find the simple part to include hearing how we get sober and the not easy part to be staying away from meetings. It has to do, for me, with beginning to listen to my ISM for too long a period of time. So, attending meetings on a daily basis helps to control the ISM. I am most often reminded that I have come to believe that a power greater than myself will restore me to sanity. It also helps the chances of staying sober by thanking God for all that I have and the opportunity to help others. It's wonderful to live in a free country where we have so many choices in front of us. I feel blessed to be sober. My life, right now, is not easy due to Neuropathy. I believe I am being tested and hope I will pass. Ipanema
