Learning to trust the Power greater than I, has been a sober life process. For years there was doubt that all would be okay. In spite of the evidence that things are okay as long as I am opening my eyes every day, and everything after that is just how I perceive things are. Situations that are in my path can be packed with conflict, but I have choices. I have to be centered in the light of Spiritual truth to make the correct choice. This is all based on honesty within me about the path I need to take. It’s so easy to get lost in the illusion of what I think I want, instead of what my true needs are. My true need is to learn how to be of use to those who need help, and move myself out of the way. The only way I can do any of that, is to trust that God is placing things in my life that need to be in front of me. That is having the faith, that God does for me what I can’t do for myself, that only happens if I do trust. This for me has been a learned experience, only through the experiences that have brought on a true expression of how I should conduct my life. This is a learning experience that continues each day, and through the choices I make, I choose the perception I want to have. Is the glass half empty, or half full, I do have the power to decide. Thanks for making a12 step call on me.

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.
