Short Comings
No
more struggles with booze no more struggles with myself
but
AA did not promise me a life free from all conflicts
When
I got here I had to go thru the same withdrawal as everyone else
staying
sober Trying to get my family back not knowing
it
was never going to happen because of my shortcomings
My
X-wife had enough of my crap so now I had to find something to
live for
and
that was for my two kids I had visiting rights that where very
good
X
never tried to keep me from seeing or being with my kids
That
was my first blessing in the struggle to stay sober
and
change my behaviors and shortcomings
I
started to become the Dad I should have always been
I
gained the love and respect of my kids back
Also
something else the respect of my X wife bye working thru my
past
I
have made many amends To many people and have gain respect form
them
only
because I became more honest and respectable
But
life still goes on and the steps teach us how to deal with
struggles of living life sober
Not
everything is peaches and cream it’s easy to stay sober when
everything is going great
But
life does thru is a curve ball every now and then that’s
where the teachings of the steps
And
the love of God keeps us together in times of tragedy when the
unthinkable happens to us
Or
to our family members that’s when the real test of our
sobriety comes
can
we overcome tragedy Well if we have practice the principles of
recovery
we
can and better than normal people do I think
Its
because of the spiritually that the steps taught us we can get
thru these things
And
still see the light thru the darkness of the moment
God
is always with us thru the struggles of life
And
we are truly blessed with His unconditional love
His
guidance thru all our struggles
God
bless each of you as He has me
