I keep out of my head by thinking of how I can help others and then try to do something nice for some else today. Action.....If you're out of your mind, your with GOD, If you're in your mind, you're with self. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

I first came to A.A. in 1986, I was wide open in the program, I went to meetings every night, was the secratary of the Group and was even asked to be a Guest Speaker a couple of times.I was sober 3 1/2 years, everything came so easy to me, got the family back, a good job bought a house 2 cars a boat and everything was great. I decided I didn't need to go to meetings as much anymore, then I thought I didn't need to go at all. Things came so easy I started to think that maybe I wasn't an Alcoholic after all. So I set out to prove this. At first I controled it or so I thought. By the time I realized I was not in control ,like I thought I was , it was too late. I had already started to loose everything all over again. Those people at A.A. were right, when you reach the point where I was, you can no longer drink like normal people, (who ever they are) LIke it says in "How it works" remember we deal with alcohol, cunning baffeling and powerful -Withoout help it is too much for us. I have to remember I am thinking with a brain that is infected , but there is one who has all power that one is God.

Here's how I had it explained to me --" Take a cumcomber and put it in some vinagar and spices and it becomes a "Pickle" - - no matter what you do to that "pickle" it will always be a "Pickle". SO it's Ok to be a "Pickle" as long as know that you will always be one. BE the best "Pickle" you can be. God Bless you
