A Simple Thought For Monday

The more you try
 
to force something
 
for your own benefit,
 
the less you'll enjoy
 
what you're seeking
 
so desperately.

benny,,,  what did you tape to the mirror?


I hear your frustration. I don't know whether or not you will end up divorced,,,  I don't know whether or not your marriage can work. But I know that the AA 12 Step program says  'easy does it', and stuff to keep us moving constructively..  cuz we AA's tend to be 'all or nothing' and get upset easy....  sometimes that is why we drink, and at first we don't know how to cope if we don't drink, cuz that was our one coping mechanism and now it's gone, so we have to learn better coping skills.


love in recovery,


amanda

Hang in Buddy...itll be ok...


Ive screwed up a lot of good stuff..in sobriety...just because I reacted out of anger...


And there are some somedays...I can still screw it up...


I still hafta remember..to put brain in gear..before opening mouth...


And the old alky way..of you hurt me..Ile hurt yu back..can still rear its ugly head..


After the words are out of ones mouth..and the reacting  is finished with..it is too late..


I have many regrets for reacting and acting with insanity...to others and situations..


It takes a bigger person to walk away...and do nothing...and Let Go And Let God..sometimes..


Im an alky...Sometimes I want to fix things right now...this minute...DOH!!


Just doesnt happen that way...
