Dealing with life sober is a very hard thing to do at first. A year ago my 21 year old nephew died of an overdose. It was painful to see all the young people who loved him morn over his casket. I just wanna shake them all and tell them how this disease is the devil. I dealt with my disbelief and pain through the program. It’s such a hard thing for our young family and friends to see the forever damage of drugs and alcohol. Today I’m grateful I live in a more peaceful, controlled life and it’s all due to the 12 steps and great sponsor also the knowledge of this disease I have. Keep it simple. One day at a time.
Thank you for this… About 5years ago my children’s father was shot over a bad drug deal, then eight months after my second children’s father drank himself to death. I share this because I have to cope and live one day at a time as well! My sponsor tells me that keeping it simple and reliance upon a higher power when working my 12 step program is essential! I need to ask for help by praying and then “act as if” I already have what I asked for… God will take care of what we cannot, but he surely will not take care of what we can! This is a program of action! Thank you for this share I needed to be reminded…
I’m so sorry for ur lost kayce . He with God and he is at peace.!!!!!
But u are a strong women and ur doing the Aa program and we are all proud of u .!!!!!!!
Thank you Thomas.
It was my honor sweetie.!!!!!
Kayce, thanks for your post. Dealing with life sober can be hard, regardless of how much time one has in the program. I’ve got more than a few 24hours, but am back to a day at a time or less since my wife has been very sick since mid December. This is the hard part of the 3rd step: the willingness to turn my life over to the care of my Higher Power and to accept deep down inside whatever the result – Knowing that regardless of my losses, I will be Ok to the extent that I follow His will for me whatever that may be. Bless all and Happy New Year!
Your in my prayers Kayce…….one day at a time X
Thank you. That’s all we have one day at a time.
Yes we do life is sweet
I had been a chronic relapse. I am alive today by God’s grace. I’ve seen good people — the young and old timers too — die of this disease in last few years. I’m blessed — three plus years sober, 70years old and in good health. Every day is a gift.
Wow awesome Karen.!!!!!!
Wow, I am glad that I stumbled upon this. My condolences and prayers to the Families of those who are bereaving. I coming up on another sobriety birthday on 02/29, God willing. On 10/30/15 I took a horrific fall at work, but for the Grace Of God I am alive. My goal is to be walking on and/or before my sobriety birthday. Happy New You & Happy New Year & if no one has told you that they love u today, I love you with all that I am. Peace & blessings & by all means necessary keep going with God.
