Good day and welcome to Sober, my blog for people that want
to live without drinking alcohol or drugs. There are plenty of us in this world
that want the relief of just drinking a little bit when the time arises. There
is another group of us that cannot drink alcohol and stop. We are at the mercy
of a truly baffling disease called Alcoholism. We are upstanding people and
hold down many occupations. White collar and Blue Collar workers. Some of us
are Doctors and Lawyers, and others are Airplane pilots and manufacturers or
even retired.
Alcoholism affects the family and their loved ones. The only
way to kill the disease is a spiritual foundation that one can believe in God.
You must work the 12 steps aligned by the AA groups of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Those who do this will and totally succeed from the craving and abstinence of
drinking. This is proven. Unfortunate are those who do not follow the program
outlined by AA will not ever quit, or if they do, will go back to alcohol, not
because they want to, but because they have to.
Meetings are a necessity, even if you think they are no suitable
for you. I can’t explain why. You do not have to go every day, yet did you
drink every day? If the answer is yes then attend a meeting every day and go to
several different AA meetings. There are Big Book, Step studies and general
discussion meetings. There are weekend outings with friends and families of
alcoholics having fun without drinking alcohol. There is fun in these groups
and watch out whom you hang around in these AA clubs. There are some people
that are court appointed. This author suggest you treat them well, but beware
that they have to be there, or they go to prison.
Yes, it is a challenge and your life will change. It will
change for the better for not only you, but the people that truly love you.
There are external problems; for example, the wife may leave you for your drinking, or
your kids will hate you because of how you acted when drinking. These can all
be mended once you decide what we have to offer. A new employer may come about,
bringing you back the materials you may have lost during your drinking period.
There are quite a few of us that have lost everything and now have it back. It
does not happen soon, it is a timely matter.
It’s Sunday June 2, 2013, a great day to stop drinking and
start the new week out in an AA meeting tonight. It is only an hour usually,
and you may know someone already there. Get a sponsor as soon as possible, and
start working the steps. If you have questions ask them.
Do it for your self, Do it today! God Bless.
