The effort to be a better person deems to be a difficult task for some, but for those of us who utilize the 12 steps and principles, realize that it doesn’t take much from us, but rewards us beyond belief. When I was drinking being nasty came with no difficulty. My drinking came with different personality stages. First I could be reserved to a degree, then I seemed to be better looking, next was the charming stage, then the funny stage, and finally the belligerent stage. It was pretty much like that throughout until came the demoralized part. I have come to understand that it really takes less effort to be a good man, and that it takes so much less work than being an angry, discontented, ungrateful, miserable human being numb to society and himself. It really doesn’t take much work at all. Just stay sober and work the steps and live by principles. Peace Out: M 2014
