Have you seen this? I don't remember where I found it, but it so describes my life as an active alcoholic, and I'm sure many of you can relate to the insanity too. I thought it was appropriate to post it today because I am working on Step Two with my sponsor "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
Autobiography in five chapters
1) I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in... it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
it is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.
Today I am grateful/thankful for the follwing...
- to be clean and sober
- to not have as much insanity in my life
- the patience I have in dealing with a devilteen
- laughter
- I have everything I need today, and then some
- my two cats, my kitten and my budgie
- I am able to read (my 12 X 12)
- my garden is still blooming
- having my AAngel/devilteen home
- my HP loves me no matter what
- my HP forgives my mistakes
- for each of you who choose to stalk to me...
Ready or not, here I come to stalk to you!
...and before I forget, please help me support and welcome a new friend Krista, she is an amazing young woman who has 4 days sober today, visit her here http://krista-wine-o.blogspot.com/
