Complacency
There
was a time in my recovery that I saw nothing left to go to
meetings for
My
life was going good I was getting busy with life and active in
other things
Sure
was doing great fantastic job doing what I liked best sober and
happy
But
of course we had a need to put first things first we started to
stay home
Was
trying to help kids adjust to our new family life and AA became
less important
We
had to fix our kids keep them off drugs and that was going to be
a full time job
So
only contact I had with recovery was with people at work
I
talked to who needed help
But
meetings were put aside I had a few years of sobriety
and
was getting bored with meetings
I
complained about every thing about
how
people just stay in their disease never changing
Well
I did soon stop going to meetings all together
my
attitude and character defects started to return
I
became God again started acting the same as before I stopped
drinking
and
I was a raving manic
Well
I started to return to my meetings
but
this time I became more active more caring and given
I
got into service work and was reaching out to help others
who
were having a hard time
Getting
active sure made a difference to me
I
started to do the very same things I was taught to do
Complacency
has no place in my life today
I
needed an attitude change and meetings gave me that
Happiness
is a by product of how we live and act in the world
we
live in and its a big world
I
am busy trying to do what God intended me to do when
He
gave me this gift of sobriety
God
has been good to Sandy and I
and
we in return try to give back every thing that was given to us
God
bless all of you as He has us
