Fear....

I really hate that I let fear drive me at times. Today is one of those days. I have a meeting tonight and hopefully I will have the opportunity to share.

Today is a trigger for me - my brother-in-law's birthday. He is no longer with us; however, he was killed about 3 or 4 years ago. His death was no accident. He was an alcoholic / addict as long as I have known him and when he lost his only child at the tender at of 16 he was at the point of no return. He was shot and killed by a police officer because he put himself in a situation to cause this officer to fire his weapon at him.

The anniversary of his death and his birthday was always another good "excuse" for my AH to lift his bottle to "honor" his brother. My fear today is knowing how easily that can happen. All he has to do is walk out of this facility....

I've prayed, I have read my books, I have prayed some more. I really can't wait to feel peace in my meeting tonight!

Thanks for listening.
