There are those days that I feel like a new comer. Those are the days that I wake up with untreared Alcoholism. Those feelings that I just feel uneasy and detached. Thank God that those days, are more rare then in those first few months, but it is still a force to deal with, no matter how much time I have! I am blessed and grateful, that I have been given tools and insight to recognize myself when I awake in that space. Even though I begin my days with a prayer, there are those times, when that prayer is an entire day of trying to stayed connected. The practice of all the steps doesn’t end it is on going, a day to day event. If prayer alone would slove my condition I could just breeze through everything, but then I would miss so much. We tell the new man to just stay, but I have to tell myself to stay and do the work, to treat a disease that will only stay arrested if I treat it. That is where the first step has to be the perfect step. I must concede to the fact, I am an alcoholic, and face each day honestly, with hope, faith, and courage in order to keep me from being a newcomer again. I have been given a daily reprive. Thank you for making a 12 step call on me.
