Having suffered from alcoholism, I should understand the illness, but sometimes I feel annoyance, even contempt, toward a person who cannot make it in A.A. When I feel that way, I am satisfying my false sense of superiority and I must remember, but for the grace of God, there go I.
Hey all.......getting so many folks bugging me to post, here it is.......: I am coming up on my two year anniversary has made me reflect as I work on an inventory of my goals set for this year. One of the things that has really stuck with me this year is the fact that the only guarentee I have is right now today. I choose to stay sober right now and enjoy this moment in the fullest. By concentrating on this very principal I have had much success. There have been many struggles and challenges but I have stayed sober just for today.
I started a new Job in mid May and that has been a wonderful change for me. This job is a lot less stressful than my last job, more regular work hours and and NO MORE COMMUTING. Other than that have just been busy with summer.......ballgames, fishing, garden, kids etc. Hope all is well in your worlds and when I have a little more than five minutes I'll stop by and say "Hi."

I know what you mean about feeling annoyance with those who "cannot or will not..." What I shold feel is gratitude for "There but for the Grace of God"
