Fo some reason this notion keeps cropping up in my thinking, we are so very Blessed, indeed, with one day at a time, to not have to pick up a drink.
And the viligalence that is required, that has also been on my mind.
Perhaps it is life itself that is also a very fragile thing as well. But by the Grace of God we get to live that life, and see if we can help another, struggling with the Disease that leads to a life that is not really living a full life.
Maybe this Post made some sense, but no need to go on, I am finding the words eluding me to exactly what I am feeling, but I did give it my best shot.
Sent with a lot of love for all of you, that includes all the new very precious people that have joined in this uphill Battle. We can do this together, with the Steps, and the caring and other hands reaching out and touching one another.
Just one day at a time, and sometime just one hour at a time.
yes, sometimes just an hour at a time, I was supposed to go out socialising on saturday night but felt completely in danger and knew I would probably take a drink had I gone, by the way I suggested the night out idea, how cunning and baffling is that one? I then had a serious chat with my hp, remembered my last drunk, oh boy, and said I did not feel well, that my stomach was sick, it was, the night went ahead without me, and I took it an hour at a time, I'm so glad I was vigilent.
Thank you both for the reminder that I am not alone and that I am not so unique.
How this disease of ours IS so cunning, baffling, and powerful! With or without alcohol, I am powerless without the help of AA and my HP.
Dig this: the other day I caught myself thinking I could make eggnog and add just a little bit of liquor to it. Just like the guy in the BB with the milk and whisky!
Thank you all. We are fragile sensitive people. We are blessed with the diesase of alcoholism and blessed with the recovery. Thank you god, Bill W and Dr. Bob.
I love it that most cities/towns have some kind of AA Thanksgiving meal & meeting...we are indeed very fragile, yet together, we have a core of titanium!
