this_sort_of_sums_it_all_up

Daily reading from “Twenty Four Hours a Day” - November 16

This sort of sums it all up for me – great reading!

I have gotten rid of most of my inner conflicts. I was always at war with myself. I was doing things that I did not want to do. I was waking up in strange places and wondering how I got there.

I was full of recklessness and when I was drunk and full of remorse when I was sober.

My life didn’t make sense. It was full of broken resolves and frustrated hopes and plans. I was getting nowhere fast. No wonder my nerves were all shot.

I was bumping up against a blank wall and I was dizzy from it. AA taught me how to get organized and to stop fighting against myself.


I am the alcoholic described above. I was in my own way for so long.
AA is my solution (and of course SR too) and I’m becoming a very grateful recovering alcoholic.

Yeah that about sums up my life up until now, but I'm starting a new chapter.

Twenty Four Hours a Day
That was me. A life fueled by rampant addiction out of control. Thank goodness I could create a better plan for living free from booze.

My life was definitely one of broken resolves and promises to myself and others (including work obligations, and it's a wonder I didn't ever get fired). I am grateful I found my way back to AA after my relapse--some are not so fortunate. Thank you for the reminder; I don't want to ever go back there again!!!
