I am over it!

I am my old self again.  Happy inside.  Im not a smart man but Im a million times smarter than I was.  I am not a drunk anymore, Its a good world the way it once was and Im having a good time, I got a birthday coming up with my family (Later than it was on this site) I have been sober for 9 months and I owe a lot to AA, I will continue helping people over and over again.  I was once this way many years ago when I was 20- 21 in this same neighborhood and now the end of summer is bringing feelings of once being here in another time...and I am so happy and grateful I am still here.  I have felt the spiritual effects of this program for some time now and I have admitted this is my problem and I have owned it.  I can feel a great peace inside and I have noticed very positive changes in the attitiudes of my family who Im speaking more to now.  Im only 27 years old and Im glad Ive done it now, Ive saved myself the additional 15 years of suffering is what the people at my last meeting were saying.  THANK YOU AA!.evileye

Hopefully anyone reading this whos suffering will know that this program will work if you just keep going there and doing the work:  Read the big book, try to help others, clean your house, and listen to the people with a lot of wisdom (Not necesairly me)

Time to move on from this evil malady Ive been dealing with for the last number of years.

 Been Waiting.

Closer.

 Congrats on the 9 mos and enjoy your contributions.

I like the line above, once we can own the problem we are on the way to owning the solution via help of the AA support/steps and God.

Thats what Im seeing, once were able to get through it ourselves we can offer something to those who are still sick, the same way others have offered us!

Congrats on 9 months 'Closer' ... ... ...

I'm one of those idiots that didn't stop back then and went on to suffer an additional 13 years ... I pray God grant YOU the strength to stay in the program where I failed ...

God Bless,
Pappy
