Right now there is a part of my life that really sucks and it is causing me significant anxiety. I'm seeing a lawyer tomorrow, and for the first time in my life I may initiate a lawsuit.
I've been dealing with this situation for a month, but the good news is I'm not going to drink over it. Not even close.
The program of AA has helped me to find serenity and peace, despite the "poop" that's been dumped on me. Several years ago my coping strategy would have involved a bottle. Now, I don't even consider it, and for that I'm thankful.
