Carrying The Message
Sometimes we may want to really help another alcoholic or
addict especially when we may feel we have found a solution
ourselves.
Especially when we have known the pain of our own addiction.
We can encourage them, pray with them, share our experience,
strength and hope with them but unless they are willing to stop,
and try a new way we just can't make them want this.
It is terribly sad that some of us will indeed go to the bitter ends
known as Jails, Institution and even Death. Addiction is serious ,
progressive and can be fatal. That certainly was my path. And it
still could be if I am not vigilant in my recovery.
But dying would be an easy way out, it is the living in constant
pain and turmoil that is the worst.
If you all could see just how many people I have seen come
through the 24 hour club in the last 5 months and stay a week
or 2 tops. It is heartbreaking.
And to imagine how many people our administrators have seen
come and go over the years.
When I finally became ready after 30 something years in and
out of recovery, I finally had enough. The pain of using was
greater than the pain of not using.
If someone told me standing on my head in Time Square would
help me get and stay clean and sober I would have done it.
Gratefully the solution they had in mind was pretty painless compared
to the life I was living.
My ego has made me believe I could say some magical thing to
a newcomer to make them want to get and stay clean and sober.
Not gonna lie, it still makes me think that sometimes. Cuz I really
hope I can. It's hard watching people relapse over and over again.
I have been there and not so long ago.
Maybe I can't but what I do want to say to them is that it
doesn't have to be this way anymore.
That I have found a way that works one day at a time. And it
wasn't that long ago that I was also desperate and felt hopeless.
That others have also found a way . I want them to find the way.
I pray they will become ready before it is to late.
Till they are I have to trust God to keep them safe until they are truly
ready.
Many may not ever be ready but there will always be one. There
will always be one to encourage.
Are we truly ready today?

Feeling a bit cranky the last few days, no desire for alcohol though.
The mind can play tricks on all of us in many deleterious ways.
Alcohol exacerbated my worst lows in the long term--50 years plus.
24 more hours please!

This new 24 Hours of recorded sign ins starts NOW and ends at 10 pm EST 9/10. First update
with new list is around 7:30 am EST 9/10.
Expectations
We addicts/alcoholics have been pretty good at justifying
our drinking and drugging in the past.
For me it was a way of protecting my addiction. Preventing
me from facing the truth.
I had a lot of excuses why my life was such a mess and here
were some I used in the past.
The real problem is other people, if they would only do what I
want. My hubby, my siblings, my parents, my children, my
co-workers etc.
My family stresses me out so I need to unwind with alcohol and
drugs.
I am stuck in a job I hate and have a boss who makes my
life miserable.
Everyone is judging me and they don't understand.
My life is so boring without alcohol or drugs.
The lack of employment opportunities out there it is the real
problem.
People who do not drink or do drugs are weird and uptight.
This world is going to hell anyways so who cares.
The weather is to blame.
The real problem is that I don't feel like I am in love anymore.
Or I will never fall in love.
I was able to come up with plenty of justifications for my behavior.
If I didn't get honest with myself I never would have faced the
real source of my problem.
It was only by finally seeing through my denial that I was able
to really gain any insight into the reality of most of my problems.
Me, I was the problem. I am still the problem. It's my thinking
that is the problem. My to high expectations of life and people and
situations around me.
If I continue to have these high expectations I will always be left
with some dissappointment because they will not always be met.
Then in turn it will make me angry, then I will not like that feeling
and I will seek an escape the comfort I can get from a drink or a drug.
And I will continue to use those things above as an excuse to
continue on in my addictions.
If I stay clean and sober, I can work on these high expectations
and learn some acceptance in life.
But if I continue to drink or drug I will always be the problem.
And any problems that I think are problems will become
worse problems.
