I I have been trying to stay sober for 20 years now and always going back to what I have always done which is wait tables and serve alcohol without drinking or relapsing. Many sponsors would tell me not to do that but I would say i have to work; how…
I understand the dating and not being ready.....Truthfully I dont think I have ever been ready because I continue to tell God what I want rather than ask Him what He wants me to have or do. I am learning to love myself and be ok in my own skin. But…
Everyday my sane mind and my insane alchoholic thinking run parallel with each other fighting for me to do the next right thing or give in to my old warped way of thinking. The book tells me this and I have to get on my knees every morning and ask…
You are here, and that is what counts most.
AA is not for people who want it. It isn't for people who need it. It is for those who work it.
You can do it, and you know exactly what to do. Good luck. :)
The interesting thing is that when I gained and maintain sobriety, I stopped doing the things that kept me in trouble all of the time. Not always a direct relation to alcohol, but definitely the thinking of an alcoholic. Today I look for solutions.…

We read this chapter in my home group the other night. Its pretty much were I am right now. When I put my financial situation first it usually leads to fear which leads to a resentment which leads to anger and I'm off to the races. When I let go and…
I hear your pain, hurt, anger, rage and the desperation that I too have felt so many times and wondered the exact questions that you are asking. I wondered why God would want my two daughters to grow up with out their dad? I understand I have conseq…
Brian I went to a meeting today and we read Freedom from Bondage in the 4th edition Bigbook, even though the story is written by a woman I was able to relate to her on a level that spoke to me. I understand right where you are at, No one said this w…
I have been in and out of recovery since the age of 14 but i have finally come to realize that the only solution is found in the rooms of AA. I recently was led by God to Kerrville to begin my new life in Sobriety.

Hi bryan, you sound like you are coming along just fine. You are a real man for handling life sober and on lifes terms. God could and would if he were sougnt.
Hay Bryan, I dont know weather to say congradulations,or share empyty..I never had the courage to leave a bad relationship,I would hold on until I was litterally being draged. No fault 2 that woman, it was me who required a woman in my life 2 make me feel better about myself. Honesty, coupled with a 4th step has made me awear of my past behaviours...Keep doing the deal, B and I am sure GOD will reveal 2 you what is true..Love the picture..Is that your youngen?..I share with U what my sponsor has shared with me, what ever happen, JUST DO THE DEAL---12steps and 12 traditions, and things will change
We share things in common. I've been in and out since I was first introduced to AA when I was 25 years old. I'm now 48. I know the only solution for me is in the program of AA. During those 23 years the only time my life was good - peaceful and able to deal with normal problems effectively - was while I was in the program and working it. It works. Stay with it. Contact me anytime you wish. Take care and have a good day.
