Basics of sobriety
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has
"thoroughly "followed our path
And you never do fail at recovery until
you stop trying to follow the path
Telling our stories what we used to be
like what happened and what we are like now
I decided I wanted what AA had and I was
willing to go to any length to get it
Carrying the message is for us all but you
need to get it before you can give it
What I do is very simple because I stick
to the basics that’s what sobriety is all about
My alcoholism is not cured and never will
be if I stray to far form the teachings of AA
I will be lost again to suffer the misery
of my past and will most likely get drunk again
God asked me to give up one thing alcohol
and he took my desire to drink away
I needed to get humble and honest I was
not constitutionally incapable of being honest
But I did need to become humble enough to
ask God to remove the desire to drink from me
Then I needed to take the time to find out
who I was and who I could become
AA gave me a new life and the tools to use
the big book and step book slogans etc
If I get active in helping others to help
themselves I will stay sober and have a happy life
The very basics of AA is to learn the
steps and to reach out to others who suffer
Show them the unconditional love and
fellowship we got when we came into the halls
I just had to get active in my own
recovery and by doing that I could help others see the way
Just by sharing my ESP at functions like
dances breakfast’s holiday parties many more
I have learned it’s also about having some
fun in recovery and enjoying life to the fullest
I stick to the basics and I must do my
part to make it possible for others to recover
God works thru people stay with the basics
and AA will carry on for us all
God bless each of you
