And right now finding words are hard. You wasn't supposed to leave but you were taken. I wish I would've said more to you. I'm sorry you're gone now. It's so unfair. I don't know when I'll see you again. I love you uncle. Sleep well wherever you are. 💕

Over the course of years, I learned the hard way that holding in your emotions is very dangerous & damaging to you. For my own health, mentally and physically, I had to figure out how to let it go without hurting myself. The only way I could function somewhat normally was to just "let it go" and not in a way that further hurt and damaged me. That meant finding a way without alcohol to deal with things. I'm 424 days likka free today. Each day gets easier but it's still quite the struggle. I find comfort in my support system, yoga, prayer and being verbal. I must say if I'm having an urge. Keeping it to myself isn't healthy for me. If I voice it to someone, then I can get support to stay strong and on the wagon. #BeVerbal ##SaySomethingToSomeome #ItHelps

Life is as grand as you make it. It's your choices and decisions that get you there. Remember that. 💖

HAPPINESS IS NOT THE POINT

I don't think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others, if they would receive the knowledge?

AS BILL SEES IT, p. 306

In my search "to be happy," I changed jobs, married and divorced, took geographical cures, and ran myself into debt—financially, emotionally and spiritually. In A.A., I'm learning to grow up. Instead of demanding that people, places and things make me happy, I can ask God for self-acceptance. When a problem overwhelms me, A.A.'s Twelve Steps will help me grow through the pain. The knowledge I gain can be a gift to others who suffer with the same problem. As Bill said, "When pain comes, we are expected to learn from it willingly, and help others to learn. When happiness comes, we accept it as a gift, and thank God for it." (As Bill Sees It, p. 306)

#OneDayAtATime

A LIFETIME PROCESS

We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people. . . .

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 52

 

These words remind me that I have more problems than alcohol, that alcohol is only a symptom of a more pervasive disease. When I stopped drinking I began a lifetime process of recovery from unruly emotions, painful relationships, and unmanageable situations. This process is too much for most of us without help from a Higher Power and our friends in the Fellowship. When I began working the Steps of the A.A. program, many of these tangled threads unraveled but, little by little, the most broken places of my life straightened out. One day at a time, almost imperceptibly, I healed. Like a thermostat being turned down, my fears diminished. I began to experience moments of contentment. My emotions became less volatile. I am now once again a part of the human family.

In a world where you struggle with addiction, there is no way out. To open the door to a new world is admittance and acceptance.
