Tough question for a newly sober alcoholic whose imagination has strangely deserted him. Alcoholics of my type always sell ourselves short on this question.
At six weeks sober I wanted to be a cab driver. I liked driving cars and I liked reading books, which is what I thought cab drivers did.
God wasn't having any of that! The police turned down my application for a license. God had a different plan. I eneded up on a work scheme at the university where a very kind professor managed to get me through the last of my trade qualification.
From there I moved into a trainee job, sales, then management, then senior management roles, then self employment, to early retirement where I can travel the world and carry the AA message. And that is just work life. Family and social turned out to be so much better than I could have imagined.
The abreviated AA program, Trust God, clean House, help others, certainly worked for me.
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
